Today I start on my Rhyolite Ghost Town photos in Rhyolite, NV! Some of the photos for today are photos of driving down to Rhyolite from Beatty, NV, the place I stayed at overnight after my Scotty's Castle visit. The ghost town itself is not in Death Valley National Park, but falls right outside its boundaries. If you do visit Death Valley National Park, Rhyolite Ghost Town is a must see! If you are into star trails, this is definitely a great place to do one! I even did one myself and it turned out great. :) I will show you the star trails I did soon in a future blog post. Also, if you want to learn how to do star trail photography, I have written up a nice tutorial here. As with all ghost towns, this used to be a very populated area, but as time passed, the place is now deserted. If you want to learn more about Rhyolite, NV, you can read more about it on Wikipedia.
Some hills on the side of the highway. This was when I was driving from Beatty, NV to Rhyolite, NV.
The straight highway leading into Death Valley National Park. It was really fun driving on it. :P
Here is the sign at the beginning of the dirt road leading into Rhyolite Ghost Town.
Rhyolite Mercantile
Tom Kelly's Bottle House. That is right, most of the house is made from bottles.

Another photo of the Rhyolite Mercantile.
Abandoned Gas Station
Since the lighting inside the abandoned gas station is so different from the outside, I shot this photo as an HDR composition so I can balance the bright and dark areas. HDR is really great for these high dynamic range shots, hence the name High Dynamic Range.
This is all the photos I have for today! I hope you have enjoyed them! Next time I will be continuing with more photos from Rhyolite, NV. I hope you have enjoyed these shots. Please don't forget to share the blog post with your friends and family members!
