The starkly beautiful Death Valley National Park is so enormous and sprawling that there are several ways to find your way into this gorgeous national park with the out-of-this-world raw landscape.
One of those routes into Death Valley is from the Beatty, Nevada direction.
So I jumped at the chance to bike with my photographer and bicycling buddy Kevin Cannon, who suggested meeting at Eddie World in Beatty and biking to Death Valley via the Nevada gateway along State Route 374.
The weather was absolutely perfect, an exquisite 74 degrees as Kevin and I biked on the two-lane road out of Beatty.
On the way to Death Valley Kevin and I made a right turn of SR 75 for a visit to the popular Rhyolite ghost town, probably one of the most photographed ghost towns in Nevada.
The old building frames of the local bank, school and store are still stand, while the train depot is probably the structure that looks the most complete.
After we biked back to Beatty and pedaled around the small town situated on Route 95 about two hours north of Las Vegas, Kevin continued north to Tonopah while I headed home through Death Valley via the Furnace Creek visitor area.

What an incredible day. I would go so far as to say the weather was sublime.
