Wyoming Ghost Towns

Wyoming’s ghost towns sit in some of the most dramatic landscapes in the American West. Gold and silver mining towns in the mountains, coal mining communities along the Union Pacific rail corridor, and cattle ranching settlements on the high plains all left abandoned communities across the state. Wyoming ghost towns are often genuinely remote, requiring serious planning and four-wheel drive to access, but the rewards – both historical and scenic – are exceptional.
