ARIZONA GHOST TOWNS    

ARIZONA GHOST TOWNS

Touring Arizona's ghost towns is an excellent way to step back into the bygone days of the Old West. Once you begin to slow down from the hectic pace of contemporary life, you start to feel more and more at home among the memories of an earlier time.

Please remember - there will by many more visitors to come after you, and they all deserve the same opportunity as you had to experience a bit of Arizona as it was in the pioneer days. So please - resist the temptation to disturb anything.
Another point worth remembering is that while Arizona's highways are excellent, the distances are vast. So it pays to make sure your car is top condition before you set out to explore our many fascinating places. Good tires are a must, and if you'll be traveling off the beaten path, it's wise to take extra containers of oil and gasoline. And don't forget water - lots and lots of water! Carrying a shovel and tow line are also wise precautions in remote areas. Desert regions are subject to flash floods and resultant washouts. Obey all posted signs, leave gates as you find them, and do not remove anything from the premises.

Also, some of the places listed below may be on private land or the roads leading to them might be. Please be respectful to the owners and occupants as well as to the landscape.
