Rhyolite Ghost
Town - Nevada
Rhyolite
is a great place to take pictures the Cook Bank ruin is the
most photographed building in Nevada. Once a mining town of
10,000 people with over 50 saloons and 18 grocery stores.
Today all that is left are hundreds of house and business foundations.
Two of the most preserved buildings are the world famous bottle
house and the train depot. A visit to Rhyolite is a trip back
in time to the gold boom days of the early 1900s. Do not be
surprised if you are the only visitor Rhyloite is a true Ghost
Town and has no permanent residents. there are a few signs
explain the history and remains but other than that you are
on your own to explore the ruins. Summers are extremely hot
and winters bitter cold.
