Cool little town! Easy for the kids. Would highly recommend going in the morning and then picnicking and playing around Big BayHorse Lake.
very cool place lots to see
This is a review of this place as a hike and not as a place to visit. It is actually well curated with lots of signs and information if you are into old mining towns. But the "hike" is just a short stroll around the small area of the remaining buildings. There is an ATV trail that ventures out but I did not see that part. It was late July and lots of aggressive flies will buzz you. Cool place to visit but not for the hiking.
Cool ghost town that used to be a mining town back in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Cool old buildings
