A prospector that called himself "Death Valley Scotty" claimed that this elaborate Spanish-style mansion was built by gold from his fictitious mine. In reality, Scotty's Castle was the 1920s vacation home of his wealthy friends, Albert and Bessie Johnson. Today, living history tours of the "castle's" richly furnished interior and amazing underground tunnel system are given by costumed Park Rangers.
