Castle in the Desert

Scottys Castle view map

Hidden in the hills of Death Valley is Scotty's Castle, a 25-room mansion.
Once a plush residence and reclusive retreat for a millionaire, it is now part of the US National Park System.
It was built by Chicago millionaire Albert Johnson, his wife Bessie, and their long-time friend Walter Scott in the early 1920's.
As years went by it became better known as Scotty's Castle.
