Rhyolite is located 4 miles west of the town of Beatty, Nevada on HWY 374. The East entrance to Death Valley, Rhyolite offers photographers, explorers and ghost town enthusiasts an enjoyable experience.

Rhyolite was the third largest city in Nevada by 1908. And the population reached approximately 8,000 in the city! With a total of 10,000 in the Bullfrog Mining District, this included several small towns in the area and even part of Death Valley, California. The town that was to last forever struggled from the beginning to the end, fighting for their special place in history. Today Rhyolite is a ghost town of dreams.

There is an extensive research project on Rhyolite, the information gained will be used in Libraries, Schools, Researchable Archives and Nevada Museums. If you are or know of anyone who are desendants or have information on Rhyolite. Please e-mail under comments below, directly to Rhyolite.
