Definitely worth the drive (if the road is dry). This picnic area has a few tables, outhouse, and beautiful scenery. There is an interpretive sign on-site, but the old townsite and graveyard are not at this location.
It was a great place to stop, have lunch, and take some pictures.
Breathtaking pit stop between Kanab, UT and Page, AZ. The few miles into the “town” is a dirt road that is rocky but very doable. I drove down there with my two door coupe and had no issues when the road was dry. I went a second time, and I suggest you don’t go after a rainstorm because I almost got stuck, and trust me, this type of mud sticks and cakes onto your tires. I had to pull over every quarter mile to chip away at this mud and PRAYED I wouldn’t slip away when there was a larger hill to climb. I noticed on the way there a 4x4 jeep that didn’t even venture down there and that should have clicked for me. Go during the sunset and watch the blues come to life as darkness falls. It’s unforgettable.
Pretty cool place BUT not really a ghost town , more of a nothing town, there were no remains of civilization ever being there other then the graveyard which looks like it has been rebuilt and restored. The scenery is to die for and the road out there was dirt but pretty good . If you do go out there be careful to not be out there during a flash flood , you will get stuck , even with a 4x4 you may find yourself in a bit of a bind . Also to get to the cemetery you need to cross dried wash basins and the inclines can be pretty severe.
I try to stop at historical markers when I can. This one is top notch and a short drive. The road looks like it would need 4x4 if it rains, but stock 2wd truck with some ground clearance should have no troubles.
Gorgeous rainbow cliffs overlooking the ruins of an old long since abandoned town, a truly hauntingly beautiful site
