I quite enjoyed it there. I am sure the company I had had a lot to do with it.
If you like a bit of history & culture, good food and a rustic place to stay I would by all means recommend going over night. It is a bit of a drive.
JR's friends who have an Italian restaurant there are wonderful folks and have amazing food.

I do apologize for the, as my girl just put it to me, "the 70's porn music" that accompanies the slide show.
If you are looking for chachkas, forget it. It is an old silver mining town that has lost 90% of its population.
