Beatty, NV

Coming into Beatty from the north. Beatty is a pleasant little town that seems to have a rich history of mining and other related activities, but it's main claim to fame at this point in history seems to be that it's a good point to get gas and supplies when heading west into Death Valley or when traveling between Reno and the southern ends of the state along US 95. The area immediately north of Beatty is rather pretty with long stretches of marsh land providing a stark contrast to the surrounding desert mountains.
