Even though we weren't staying there the owner was nice enough to let us come in and take some photos. We stayed at the Mizpah Hotel. Supposedly a haunted hotel. Even if you're not staying there go inside and have a drink at the bar. The place is amazing. Rather then just speeding through this town slow down a bit and enjoy it.

It's been interesting to read reviews of others who have given the place much higher marks. However, there is a realization here that everyone has a different level of standards. Overall, we want a place that's clean and put together. We did not feel that was the case here. In other words, I could probably say it was about the worst hotel room I ever paid for. To begin with tissues from the previous guest were still behind the bed table. We left them there. The mattress spring covers weren't just dirty. It was stained and filthy. It was obvious with the condition of the way the bed was made and cords that there was no proper training on anything. There was a refrigerator in the room that when opened the ice had such a build up of ice you knew it had never been checked or cleaned. Moving down to the restaurant ..... the ketchup when turned upside down "clumped" to opening and didn't slide like fresh ketchup. The bottles of other toppings appeared to have also been there a mighty long time without being freshened up. Okay .. what did we order? We ordered two hot fudge sundaes. The hot fudge was lukewarm and clumped... After all, what did we expect? The following morning when we stopped by "Registraiton" to drop the keys off, the clerk was sound asleep in his chair. Evidently, he'd been there a bit as other keys were laying on the counter that had also been cropped off. He did look at me and grunt and then went back to sleep.

Goldfield Historical Marker 12 [Goldfield NV]…read more We have been stopping by this old hotel in Goldfield NV since 2013 either on our way to or back from Las Vegas. Our last stop was our 5th time during the Labor Day weekend 2024. One memorable visit was a stop we made over 6 years ago in July 2018... we arrived in Goldfield around 9:00p, not too terribly late. We passed by a patrol car parked nearby, we parked on the side of the hotel and peeked inside. It was well lit inside and there were some tools as if renovations were being made. Outside I heard voices, two men having a conversation. I couldn't make out what they were saying but there were two voices of men that was very audible and seems nearby... I didn't see anybody. My hubby who was a few yards away from me began walking towards the street towards the front of the hotel (I wondered where he was going). After he came back we both head towards our car and left. I asked him where he went and he said he heard voices and he tried to see where it came from. Now neither one of us mentioned to each other about voices... I looked at him and told him I heard the same thing but the voices were closer to me. He said no, it was towards the front of the hotel on the main Street. We both got creeped out. As of May 1, 2024 tours are being offered by appointment only. 2 person minimum. The flyer gave plenty of details: Children under 5 FREE Ages 6-10 - $15 Age 11 and up - $25 Non refundable. Cash preferred. Does not include investigation prices Since our first time seeing it in 2013 they have been trying to revive the hotel. It has been through a series of changing hands between owners and every time we pass by no construction company seem to want to take the job. It is one of the "Scariest Places on Earth" (hmm, I thought it was the Clown Motel or the Mizpah Hotel in Tonopah)... anyway, it captured paranormal pros from all over, including Zak Bagans' Ghost Adventures crew who visits regularly. I believe the Goldfield Hotel was their first lockdown investigation. Happy haunting! Review #3523

A few notes for others trying to get to the Patriarch Grove this month. Locals already know this,…read morebut...you're not going to get here with anything but high-clearance 4WD right now. It's already a little slushy near the Schulman Visitor center, but beyond that, it's deeper, messier, and just not possible without an offroading vehicle. And even that might be a little dicey. So you might make it as far as the visitor center until it snows again, but it is now closed for the winter. A few other things to note: the elevation will make you THIRSTY. Bring more water than you normally would. And a hat/sunscreen, because the sun is more intense up here! Lastly, it takes a little *more* than an hour to get as far as the visitor center but is absolutely worth the drive!

We parked in front of the Visitor Center and went on the Discovery Trail. It took us an hour to complete. We started on the right side of the loop, and I was just gasping for air. We saw the beautiful Bristlecone trees on the trail. As we continued on to the left side of the loop, we had to walk on the big red rocks. That part was not enjoyable at all as we had to be careful not to trip. However, the views were so wonderful. It's a clear trail, so there is no getting lost.

In a region of exceptionally stunning lakes, Shadow and Ediza are two of the loveliest. Both harbor views of the Ritter Range that are among the finest mountain landscapes in the Sierra Nevada. Rolling through green meadows, conifer forests, and rocky outcrops, the trail rises by gradual degrees up the valley of Shadow Creek in view of Volcanic Ridge, to the left (south). Some stretches have been finessed through rocky benches by the vigorous application of picks, shovels, and maybe a surgical stick or two of dynamite. The best of company, frolicsome Shadow Creek entertains us with music and assorted pretty little tricks, including a very clever cascade around an island of polished granite

Ah-May-Zing! I…read moreheard about Lake Ediza last year while on my way to Garnet via Shadow Creek. Fortunately I had a chance to trek up to Ediza this year. I was told that between the split off from the JMT to go towards Garnet and Lake Ediza there was a piece of Heaven on Earth. Truly the scenery was enlightening. Shadow creek was booming (even in this drought). Like all the high elevation lakes it's quite a trek to get there but the payoff is well worth the pain. When we arrived there wasn't too many good camping spots. We had to go around the lake towards the southwest section and camped a little off the trail. If we had just gone a bit further crossing a small creek to the "island" we would have found an even better spot by the beach area under the cover of some trees. My advice: Get there early and grab a good spot. As beautiful as Lake Ediza is it can get busy. Not Thousand Island Lakes busy, but busy nonetheless.
