What is left of a once important mining camp. How important? It had a railroad connection with Los Angeles, that’s how important. It had a huge bank. Unfortunately there is not much left. Time and vandals have taken its toll. But the original railroad depot is still standing and almost completely preserved. A large mine is currently operating close to it. Distance from Las Vegas is about 120 miles one way. It is very doable for a one day outing. As we said before, there is not that much to see, other places are better. Rhyolite itself is a very acid volcanic rock.

We are very interested in helping local artists, and this expensive space is a donation. We have three books on our list. They are: Nevada a Strange State, Silveropolis and The Great Lake Mead Water Caper. All proceeds will got to the artist, the books are on Amazon, and we thank you for your help.
