Living Ghost Town Tour

On the Living Ghost Town Tour, step back in time to see old mining towns that make up a large part of the Southwest’s history. Many were largely abandoned or forgotten but today these tiny towns are some of the best out-of-the-way adventures you will find. Walk down wooden plank sidewalks, watch a shootout at high noon, and feed a wild burro!

Your scout will take you first to a small, remote ghost town founded in part by American Civil War deserters from both the North and South, who used the area to hide out from authorities. Not long after, gold was discovered and it turned into a prosperous mining town. You can still tour one if it’s long-abandoned mines. Is it haunted? You’ll have to find out for yourself! Visit the general store to hear stories of movies filmed in the area and see artifacts left behind. Just around the bend you will also be able see the beautiful Colorado River and take pictures from its banks.

Follow famous Route 66 to a town where cowboys roam the street, re-enacting high-noon shoot outs. Wild burros, descendants of those left behind by gold miners, roam the streets begging for carrots. Visit the town’s haunted hotel where famed actors Clark Gable and Carol Lombard honeymooned.

Next, as you ride on the Joshua Tree Highway, you may catch a glimpse of a wood pecker, a Golden Eagle, or a desert tortoise. You will find the stretch of highway quiet and peaceful, giving you a great chance to enjoy your surroundings.

Your last stop of the day will take you to what used to be an interesting old mining camp, where you can get a cold beverage before heading back to the Vegas city lights.

If you choose the Multi-Day option: Your tour continues with an overnight stay in a bed and breakfast inn, or if space permits, in rustic replicas of miner’s cabins that were painstakingly reproduced to be authentic. Enjoy a meal and later sit around the campfire with fellow travelers. Listen to a train whistle as it rumbles through camp, adding to the ambiance and old time feel.

In the morning you’ll continue your adventure to a living ghost town which boasts one of the nation’s oldest stamped-metal buildings still standing. Bullet holes in the walls still remain from a real shoot out in the early 1900’s over a poker game. It is also where Clark Gable sat, waiting three days for news of his bride, Carole Lombard, when her plane crashed just outside Mt. Potosi. Legend has it that their ghosts still wander through town.

You’ll stop again to catch another shoot-out and perhaps a hanging at high-noon, at a fun replica of an old western town.

The last leg of your tour will take you through the spectacular Red Rock Canyon. The brilliant hills and sandstone formations will leave you with a lasting impression of Nevada’s beauty.
