Here are some of the attractions
you’ll find in the Beatty area:
Rhyolite: Visit a true ghost town that was once
home to as many as 10,000 people, and today is
one of the most photographed areas in Nevada.
This is the home of the Tom Kelly Bottle House,
the ghostly Goldwell Open Air ArtMuseum and the famous Last
Supper Sculpture.
Titus Canyon: Take the scenic road into Death
Valley! This high clearance road will take you
through Leadfield and into narrow canyons that
expose the power of the three geological epochs
that formed this area, past petroglyphs, mining
tunnels, and to the valley floor on the other side.
Death Valley National Park: Home of
Badwater, the lowest point in the continental
United States, and the hottest place in America!
Golf in the middle of winter at Furnace
Creek Ranch, bask in the luxury of Furnace
Creek Inn, or hike the dunes near Stove
Pipe Wells.
Visit natural areas with evocative names such as
Devil’s Golf Course, Devil’s Corn Field, and
the Race Track.
Scotty’s Castle: Visit a castle
built on lies and an unlikely friendship. You will
turn back the clock during living history tours of
this luxurious ‘castle’, complete with a $75,000 pipe
organ which was reputed to cover the entrance to Scotty’s
legendary
“inexhaustable” gold mine. View hand carved Redwood
beams, indoor waterfalls, Spanish and Italian antiques,
and leather furnishings.
Beatty offers nearly endless opportunities, including
miles of roads that meander through the Bullfrog
Mining District and into Death Valley, some simply
high-clearance and many four-wheel drive.
For those looking for a more cultured experience,
Beatty offers a fine museum, unique antique shops,
eclectic gift shops, an art gallery, casino, restaurants,
and is home to Bailey Hot Springs where you can
soak your worries away.
And, while you are here, be sure to sample the
delicious homemade ice cream at the largest candy
store in southern Nevada!
