Goldfield, Arizona
In the 1890s, Goldfield was booming—and threatening to outpopulate nearby Mesa—with three saloons, a boarding house, general store, blacksmith shop, brewery, meat market and a school house. But when the town's gold ore vein dried up, the town quickly lost its luster and was abandoned by 1926. Visitors can now check out the ghost town and tour the underground mines, take a tour of the Superstition Mountains or camp on-site. Photo: LASZLO ILYES/flickr
