  • I love the sky and mountains, but the ruins ruin it for me-- even though they nicely frame the background.

Description:

Best viewed on full size.  The ruined remains of cinder block walls frame the aptly named Bare Mountain in Amargosa Desert, Nevada.  This structure was probably part of an abandoned mining effort.  The ruin is only about a half mile off of Highway 95 between Beatty and Lathrop Wells.  Nye County was built on mining and the minerals extraction industury continues to be a major part of the county's economy, prospering even during the recession.  Just up the road (20 miles or so) in Beatty, take a left at the four way stop for Death Valley. Or turn right for Goldfield, Tonopah, and points beyond.
