Rhyolite, Nevada
Rhyolite is a desert ghost town that rose and fell within a decade during Nevada’s gold rush era. The ruins of its old bank, train depot, and bottle house stand stark against the Mojave Desert landscape. The town’s skeletal remains attract photographers and history lovers alike. Visiting Rhyolite is like stepping through a portal into America’s Wild West dreams — and its inevitable decline.
