Travel: Rhyolite Ghost Town 2026-02-23 - near Beatty, Nevada - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com. Robert writes, "On day two of our visit to Death Valley, we used a different entrance. This time we would travel through the town of Beatty, Nevada. We stopped in Beatty to top off with gas (it is recommended to always fill up before you venture into Death Valley). The day before at the park we met some folks that had used this entrance and were told to look for the wild burros... 'You'll see them,' they said. We spotted some at a distance before arriving, but that was about it. Leaving Beatty and heading towards Death Valley, suddenly a sign for Rhyolite appeared! I knew about the ghost town from watching several videos about it, but somehow I missed the part where it was so close to Death Valley...of course we will stop and pay a visit. You can read about the gold mining town at nps.gov Before we could even make it to the old ghost town, we were greeted by this welcoming committee. What a start to the morning!"
