Main Street, Goldfield Ghost Town

Main Street, Goldfield Ghost Town. This photo shows a view of the Main Street that runs through Goldfield Ghost Town, along The Apache Trail in Arizona. This is a genuine ghost town, having served as a gold mine in the 1800′s until the vein ran dry and briefly reopened in the early 1900′s. This tourist attraction is located along one of the most thrilling drives in Arizona. The Apache Trail, or AZ 88 as it is officially known, links Apache Junction at the edge of the Greater Phoenix area with Globe via Theodore Roosevelt Lake, through the Superstition Mountains and the Tonto National Forest; 40 miles of steep, winding and mostly unpaved road past magnificent scenery of twisted igneous mountains with dense forests of saguaro and ferocactus, and several deep blue lakes.
