I’ve posted multiple times before about the old buildings I’ve found during the course of my Colorado rambles. Some of the places I’ve come across are still standing intact, like the Persse house in Roxborough State Park. Some are totally tumbledown, like the Walker estate on Mt. Falcon or the Lucas homestead in Castlewood Canyon. None are exactly in towns, but the DP has collected a few “ghost town hikes” in honor of Halloween. I don’t know how practical it would be to get to most of these, because they’re pretty remote. But you can at least see pictures here and I think it’s worth a look because they’re pretty fantastic. A few of mine are below. Happy Halloween!

No matter the place or the season, with or without ghosts or towns, this sage advice remains:
Go take a hike!
