About Bonnie Claire
Bonnie Claire is a ghost town in Nye County, Nevada, sitting at the edge of Sarcobatus Flat along Nevada State Route 267. The Grapevine Mountains — the northernmost spur of the Amargosa Range — rise just to the south, while the mines of Slate Ridge lie to the northwest. Bonnie Claire Flat stretches off to the southwest, reaching toward the California border between those two landmarks.
For visitors, the appeal is almost entirely scenic and historical. The setting is remote high desert, and the roadside access via State Route 267 makes it reachable without serious off-road equipment. Come with modest expectations: this is a place to absorb a stark landscape and imagine a vanished community, not to explore developed ruins or interpretive trails.
