  • When you think of Old Western "Ghost Towns" in Arizona, you think of Jerome, or Oatman. Maybe even Tombstone (although that town was too tough to die), but rarely has anyone from out of state heard of Vulture City, the epic forgotten mine and ghost town buildings perched outside of Wickenburg in a part of the state that gets fewer travelers than Route 66, the Grand Canyon, or the Saguaro national park, but has all the epic scenery and old western charm you could want! From the high Peeple's valley to Granite Mountain and Congress and even all the way to Wickenburg and beyond, we explore an epic alternative to the usual Arizona road trip!

    I'm physically disabled, and home bound much of the time, and your videos bring back a lot of memories from my childhood when I used to travel back and forth from LA to Pennsylvania where I'm originally from, with my dad and sometimes brothers and cousins. I have hopes of a road trip down route 66 and to Arizona one of these days and I hope to visit some of the places in your videos. Thank you so much for doing what you do. God bless you and Ally. Thank you brightening up many dreary days.

    So happy to see the mine restored. It took a bad hit after Ghost Adventures visited. Especially the Assay office as people would go visit and pluck rock from the walls, trying to get gold and/or a piece of history.

    My sister lived in Wickenburg. Always loved visiting her. Been to the mine a few times and the museum in town is very cool.

    I LOVE ghost towns!!! This was awesome!!! You should contact Brent at Cerro Gordo silver mine...he owns it and lives up there by himself (and some goats, cats and alpacas) but he sometimes takes people INTO the mines!! The stories and history is fascinating and I think you'd love it!! His channel is called Ghost Town Living...you probably already know this. But, if not, might be a great adventure!!

    Thank you so much for posting this. I remember going here with my parents, some time in the late 70s. At the time the mine was shut down and they allowed you to wander all over but it was just left as is. I was fascinated with seeing the equipment I was using in chemistry class abandoned and covered in decades of dust. And I remember being nervous around the ancestors of those bees you saw, much more anxious about them than the possibility of encountering rattlesnakes. I also remember them saying that the mine was closed due to a collapse which killed some miners and their mule. I now know this was a legend, but it is much more interesting than that it just closed due to the war, so I understand why they told it. Thanks again for sharing.

    Vulture city is definitely haunted. I went on a ghost hunt there once. We conducted an EVP session in the schoolhouse and the temperature dropped 30 degrees in 5 seconds. Made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

    I always love watching you go to such unique places, especially ghost towns! Not sure why I’m so fascinated by them but perhaps it’s because I know life existed there and we can only speculate what that life must’ve been like.

    13:15 I'm with you. I personally don't believe in the paranormal. I believe when the seed of "ghosts" are planted in the mind, the power of suggestion takes over the imagination. If you want to hear or experience something, you'll find something to feed off of. I'm a big history buff and I love visiting old mining towns and museums, and it drives me nuts when history is overshadowed by ghost tours. Unfortunately, tourists are more interested in embellished ghost stories and then history. The paranormal has become a business. Now every old town or building, is "haunted."

    Often take the route from Prescott through Wickenburg back to the Valley of the Sun... longer trip but the 17 can be a nightmare with traffic. Peebles Valley has a great little Italy place called Tbird Cafe. Great vlog.

    I hate that after I do a trip I hit videos like this and now know I was not far from it and missed it. Heck, my current profile pic is me in Tombstone. Obviously I gotta plan a longer trip. If my kids just loved this stuff as much as I (and seems you) do.

    The mine "recycling" you talk about was almost always economic and technological. It would begin to cost more to extract the metals, etc. than they were worth, so mining would stop. Then technology would advance and it would become economically feasible to mine again. This sometimes repeated several times as long as the mine had viable ore and the technology advanced enough to make mining profitable.

    Diphtheria: A acute, highly contagious bacterial disease causing inflammation of the mucous membranes, formation of a false membrane in the throat that hinders breathing and swallowing, and potentially fatal heart and nerve damage by a bacterial toxin in the blood. It is now rare in developed countries because of immunization.
