The Ghost Town Part 1
To keep the number of pictures per page at a reasonable level, I have divided up the Ghost Town experience. The first page, this one has pictures of the town layout and building. Part 2 has the details and the interesting small scenes you see that make exploring so much fun.
Looking down on the village from the road
Skiing in closer
On main street. No ghosts to greet me. Must be too cold!
Imagine! A stage stop on the Taylor pass Road. It's now a jeep road and closed in the winter.
The saloon. The only two story building remaining.
Maybe this was the mercantile?
