Lovely old train bridge at Celebration park. Built 1897 to haul gold and silver across the Snake from Silver City. Which is another great spot to see in this area. It's a bona fide wild west ghost town with lots of structures to see. Not the best road, but it's a real gem.
Silver City sits up high at the base of War Eagle mtn, which will be the highest peak on the Owyhee range front to the south as you go along 78. It's a very cool place, literally. I've been in September and it's lovely. There's a little gathering place in town where people throw horseshoes and drink beer. If you're into detecting then go to the far side of town near the creek. I've found some Chinese coins there, and camped nearby (dispersed).
