Rhyolite Ghost Town

Experience the Nevada desert through the eyes of acclaimed artists at this mysterious open-air museum, where giant sculptures populate an eerily empty landscape.

Perched above Titus Canyon, this boom-and-bust mining town has the dubious honor of being one of the West’s most short-lived.

With wildflowers, bighorn sheep and petroglyphs, this steep and tight gorge offers a scenic and intriguing day out in the car.

Walk along the platform hovering above the water and catch a glimpse of the remarkable Salt Lake pupfish.

This part of Death Valley National Park is made up of an otherworldly terrain of clay, sand and the surrounding mountains.

The oldest house in Death Valley is a 19th-century miners’ bunkhouse that now contains a shop surrounded by equipment that supported the valley’s primary product.
