Ashcroft Ghost Town
Description
Located deep in the Ashcroft Valley, this ghost town offers access to both stunning mountain beauty and Old West history. In 1883, this former mining town was prospering with 20 saloons, a school and two newspapers. But in 1885, the silver mine went bust and with it went the town's population and its future.

Guided tours are available during the summer only.
