Description
The Milky Way rising above the Ward Charcoal Ovens near Ely, NV.
The Ward Charcoal Ovens operated from 1876 through 1879, the silver boom years of the Ward mines. The ovens were eventually phased out completely due to depleted ore deposits and a shortage of available timber.
If you ever visit the region, I highly recommend stopping at this small State Historic Park. The history of the ovens and the impact they had on their environment is extremely interesting. There is also a nice hike along the nearby creek, where, during my visit, thousends of wild roses were in full bloom, filling the air with their sweet scent.
