Colorado’s Abandoned Red Mountain Ghost Town is a Must See
WARNING: Under no circumstances should you enter this property. By doing so you risk bodily harm and/or prosecution for trespassing on private property.
Because of Colorado's rich mining history, there are quite a few old, abandoned towns sitting around collecting rust and dust. One of these ghost towns is located along the Million Dollar Highway near Red Mountain.
Typically Off-Limits
Because of the unkempt buildings that inhabit these ghost towns, they are typically off-limits to the public and often carry 'No Trespassing' warnings at what were once the towns' entries.
