Ghost Towns & Mining Camps

Ghost towns. Those two words conjure up images of mystery, ruin, adventure, and pioneers. When you think of "the west" or even "Arizona", one of the first images many people think of is a ghost town. If you're a ghost town enthusiast, it doesn't get much better than Arizona! With numerous ghost towns all over the state, you are presented with the opportunity to explore the past and how people lived and worked.
