Mogollon Ghost Town
A remarkably preserved mining town perched at 10,000 feet with weathered adobe and wooden structures dating back to the 1880s, offering a haunting glimpse into frontier life and bohemian artist heritage in the high country. The winding road to Mogollon itself is an adventure through stunning alpine terrain, making this an essential backcountry historical experience.
