Near Ely, Nevada, six stone charcoal ovens dominate the desert landscape and give this historic site its peculiar name. The Egan Mountain Range is just a mile or two to the west.
If you are visiting Ely, NV take a short drive to an interesting local history site that you can walk inside of. Nicely maintained by Nevada State Parks.
If you are interested in Nevada or western history, this is a worthy detour from U.S. Route 50. Some of the best preserved charcoal ovens in the western United States.
I came here in the winter time and enjoyed the cold visit. I didn't get to hike the trail, but my family and I enjoyed looking at the ovens and exploring inside of them. I'm glad the State has preserved this history.
Another bit of 19th century history. Site is interpreted and maintained by Nevada State Parks.
