Rhyolite Ghost Town

050
   Rhyolite’s boom as a gold mining town was short, less than ten years, but some building facades and even some entire buildings  have survived. The most famous building is also the most unique, using 50,000 bottles collected from the many bars for the walls.

  All of the buildings are surrounded by fencing. Everything can be viewed without exiting your vehicle.  Rhyolite
