Rhyolite, Nevada - A Historic & Photo-Worthy Ghost Town

YouTube September 22, 2019

Episode Description

Sometimes even the locals need to escape Las Vegas for a day!  Join us as we travel about 120 miles north of Vegas, up Interstate 95 to the boomtown-gone-bust destination of Rhyolite.  There are atmospheric and beautiful remains from this century-old mining town, just waiting to be explored and photographed.  Rhyolite is barely 2 hours from the excitement of the Strip, and even closer to Death Valley - it's a day trip for history buffs and amateur photographers, and a desert adventure we couldn't resist!
