Check out one of the largest abandoned hotels in America in this exploration video from YouTube channel “Exploring With Josh.” The fascinating footage takes you through the massive, decaying structure filled with the remains of its former opulence. What the explorers discover at the end of the video is completely unexpected, but so cool.

This place was originally meant to be a farm. In 1914, after discovering that their land wouldn’t sustain any crops, a wealthy couple decided to open a luxury resort

At its peak, this California resort featured 35 buildings, spread across 200 acres of land.

The massive swimming pool was a huge draw. The site also offered its own landing strip, post office, and tennis court.

The hotel closed in 1986 due to dwindling reservations and financial troubles. Today, nature is invading the resort, and the massive structure is in ruins.
