Cerro Gordo Ghost Town

Lone Pine, CA

A silver, lead and zinc town high in the Inyo Mountains from the 1860s, holding an unusually complete set of mining structures. The whole townsite is privately owned and reached up a steep eight-mile dirt road — follow the owner's current visiting rules rather than treating it as open ground.
