Hands down, this is one of the BEST ghost towns you can visit anywhere, bar none and believe me, I've been to most in the west! And, while it may not have the classic feel of a Bodie or the Knotts Berry Farm amusement park feel of a Calico, it really has the feel of time frozen in place with people, albeit just a few, still living there. Of course, there's TONS of great history surrounding this wonderful town and all of it is a must to explore but its real charm, the main reason why you should off-road your way here from a place like Death Valley or even make the side trip from the 95 in any car, it's to pay a visit to Walt at the Gold Point Saloon. Now only will you get to see a ton of cool stuff everywhere and inside and out, but you can also saddle up to the bar, enjoy great conversation and enjoy some libations amongst friends. And, being that this is all being done with friends, a contribution of whatever you feel the fun was worth is always appreciated. I should note that depending on when you come, food is available as well and it is delicious. This is without question one of my favorite destinations and I highly recommend you check it out to experience it for yourself.

Quite an experience here, we were hungry and the owner kept saying he would feed us and he did. The town reminds us of Bodie Ca., very typical of most of them, but well worth the visit to a town of 6 people.

Nice little ghost town. The one person we met was very friendly. The town has about 15 to 20 folks living there.
