Visited Scotty's Castle twice in the early 60s and thought it was amazing! I've been all over the world and now reside in Vietnam, but I still love Scotty's Castle. If I ever return to the states I would love to visit it again! It's an awesome place in a beautiful area!.....SAM ADLER
I ❤ Scotty's Castle!! The gold mine IS the castle or was Albert Johnson, who had the funds to build that complex. Sure would be awesome if the Park Service would finish the pool!👍😁💯💖
You've heard of the Sierra Madre Casino. We all have, the legend, the curses. Foolishness about it lying in the middle of the City of the Dead, buried beneath a blood-red cloud. A bright, shining monument luring treasure hunters to their doom. The world's most famous stars and entertainers were invited to its Grand Opening. An invitation was a sign of... exclusiveness. The opening was supposed to symbolize a road to a brighter future, not just for the world... ... but for all who came to its doors. A chance for anyone to begin again. Except - the Sierra Madre never opened. The war froze it in time, like a big flashbulb going off. The Grand Opening - one big ending of humanity. It's still out there, in the Wastes, preserved, just waiting for someone to crack it open. But getting to it. That's not the hard part. It's letting go. ”- Elijah
I love this story!! Going to look into the history even more!! Thank you for this story!!
I love NPS rangers like this who are passionate about their park. It makes a visit so much more memorable.

I snuck in there in 2016 to see the damage myself. It took 8 years? EIGHT YEARS?! Pretty much sums up why our tax dollars don't go very far.
I’ve got a buddy that can spin a tale that has you sitting on the edge of your seat I can understand the draw to Scotty
My grandmother visited, it. Probably in the 50's.
Slept outside next to my motorcycle 1970.. waiting for gas
I just wanna know the park ranger, she def has more insight

Great 0:44
I worked and lived at Scottys Castle for a year. There is no gold mine.
Like you would know… 😂😂
It's barely 100 years old. That's infantile history. Give me the Malta madness of geopolymer , hahaha😊
