Road Trip: Ghost Town Tour, Visit California

As gold-mining fever gripped California in 1849, fortune seekers journeyed to the deserts and mountains with picks, shovels, and high hopes.

Take a tour through California’s most fascinating abandoned towns on this far-flung road trip through the Old West.
