Designed as an agricultural city, this ghost town is unlike almost every other ghost town in Nevada which centered around mining. Unfortunately they picked one of the most inhospitable places to grow crops and when water became a problem the city became a ghost town.

    To hike
    Start in Wells at Exit 352 off Interstate 80. One block north is 6th Street. Turn left on 6th. One mile later, turn right on Lake Avenue. Once you’re over the train tracks, turn left on 8th Street, which becomes County Road 754. This road is paved. After 12.5 miles, the pavement ends. Half a mile beyond that, turn left (south) at Botts Homestead. From there it’s 1.8 miles to Metropolis.
