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. |
