11 Ghost Towns in the U.S. You Can Still Visit Today
"We bet you don’t have to guess what people were after in Goldfield, Arizona, in the mid-1800s. Prospectors made their way here to work in the Mammoth Gold Mine and quickly turned it into the kind of town that would later inspire Wild West movies. While here, visitors can still see its multiple saloons, general store, boarding house, and more. You can even watch a reenactment of an old shoot-out by the Goldfield Gunfighters. The town is open every day to visitors except on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day." - Travel + Leisure Editors
It's a pretty cool day trip to step back in time. Just don't eat there you're gonna be disappointed

Fun, the mine and the town’s old buildings were pretty cool to explore. The mountains around the area make for some pretty cool views as well.

This is a truly authentic town from the 1890s and the structures are amazing! The cowboy restaurant is very cool inside and they have outdoor seating and music as well. The staff is very pleasant and the food is decent. Very enjoyable experience. There's a reptile house where you can see many types of snakes and desert creatures. All kinds of tourist shops with cool stuff to buy from the southwest and Native culture. Worth the trip and the desert scenery along the way is beautiful and the Superstition Mountains are spectacular.
