Although the Rhyolite Ghost Town is not technically part of Death Valley National Park, it does sit just outside of the park’s eastern entrance headed toward Beatty, Nevada.
There is a small museum located just to the south of the town which has many ghost related statues outside. There is an old train station and a “bottle house” that appear to be maintained.
Oh, the girls attended school at the Rhyolite Schoolhouse. Check it out!

The West Coast Game Park Safari has many exotic animals that are in caged enclosures and there are some that they bring out for you to pet. Specific instructions are provided as to how to pet each animal.
You can also purchase food to feed some free roaming animal. Even though these animals (deer, donkeys, and others) can go anywhere that you can, feeding needs to be in the center area so that the caged animals do not misbehave.
Join us as we explore over this 3 part series.

Harmony Borax Works was only operated for 5 years from late 1883 to 1888.
Transporting the finished product from deep within Death Valley to market was difficult, and an efficient method was devised. The Harmony Borax operation became famous by using large mule teams and double wagons which hauled borax across the long overland route to Mojave. The image of a “20-mule team” persists to this day and has become the symbol of the borax industry in this country.
The is not much left to see but it was still awesome.

Death Valley National Park is the hottest, driest, and lowest National Park. It holds the record temperature of 134 degrees and Badwater Basin is the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level.
Quoted from the nps.gov website “In this below-sea-level basin, steady drought and record summer heat make Death Valley a land of extremes. Yet, each extreme has a striking contrast. Towering peaks are frosted with winter snow. Rare rainstorms bring vast fields of wildflowers. Lush oases harbor tiny fish and refuge for wildlife and humans. Despite its morbid name, a great diversity of life survives in Death Valley.”
This video simply shows part of the drive between popular scenic locations. We created 6 other videos of these scenic locations. Pleas check them out as well.
