Trail Information

Highlights

In the deserts of Inyo County sits one of the greatest attractions to the overland community. Sitting tucked swaying in the hills and long forgotten is the Cerro Gordo Ghost Town, also known as Cerro Gordo Mine. This blast from the past ghost town is a must-stop when in the area of the 395 or near Death Valley and offers a fantastic adventure back in time. The ghost town is privately owned, but they allow visitors to stop by and check out the place. This is one of those places you have to see at least once. And with all the other attractions in the area, from Kennedy Meadows, Alabama Hills, and the Reward Mine, this can easily be part of an ultimate overland adventure you can plan with your friends. So the only question is, what are you waiting for?

Road is currently in bad condition with a area in the narrows that recieved a lot of damage. They will regarded it, but we don't know when. If you are heading up there understand it may be impassable to less equipped vehicles.
