Rhyolite, Nevada

US Ghost Town Collection – Rhyolite, Nevada – This Death Valley ghost town was once a bustling mining town at the turn of the last century. Gold was discovered in the early 1900s, Charles M. Schwab invested, and by 1905 Rhyolite boasted a hospital, an opera house and a stock exchange. Unfortunately, following the 1907 financial crisis, the town was almost completely abandoned by 1912. Today, Rhyolite is probably best recognized as the set for many 1920s Westerns, as well as 1965’s  The Return  and Michael Bay’s sci-fi thriller  The Island.
