  • Yellow fall colors at Ashcroft ghost town, 1880s silver mining buildings, near Aspen, Colorado, USA. Ashcroft ghost town was a short-lived 1880s silver mining settlement, ten miles south of Aspen, in White River National Forest. Shallow silver deposits, high transportation costs, and competition from richer lower-elevation mines in Aspen caused Ashcroft's 1880 mining boom to go bust by 1883. The silver market crash of 1893 ultimately destroyed the town's prospects. Its peak population of 2000+ plummeted to 100 by 1895. Today more people visit Ashcroft each summer than ever lived here. Founded at 9500 feet elevation, Ashcroft was originally called Castle Forks City, then Chloride until 1882. This image was stitched from multiple overlapping photos.

  • Historic late-1800s log cabin. Independence has been a ghost town since about 1899, when trains came into Aspen and the gold played out. Supposedly founded on Independence Day July 4, 1879 when gold was discovered, Independence was the first community in the Roaring Fork River Valley, a tributary of the Colorado River. Independence lies in a harsh environment at 10,830 feet elevation, 13.5 miles east of Aspen on Highway 82, and four miles west of Independence Pass on the Continental Divide, in Pitkin County, Colorado, USA. The remaining buildings are on land near the river owned by the Loughren Trust, and the upper site is in White River National Forest. In its short life, few could agree on a name for Independence, which was also known as Farwell, Chipeta City, Sparkill, Mammoth Mountain, Mount Hope, and Hunter's Pass.
