We chose to not pay the $5 fee so we did not go walk around in the Ashcroft Ghost town area for this trip, although, in times past when we have visited this area, there wasn't a fee, so we did go through the ghost...More
This is a lovely morning or afternoon place to visit. It is set in a beautiful area, and the walking paths are well maintained and easy for most everyone. The information in the various houses/buildings is excellent for providing an introductory history of the area....More
Hi Kathleen - We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Ashcroft Ghost Town, thank you for visiting! The weaving shop (located at the Catto Center at Toklat across Castle Creek Road from the ghost town) is part of an artist in residence program hosted by...More

One wouldn't even think that a drive all the way up beautiful castle creek road would lead to this fantastic hidden gem. Ashcroft is non existent as a town now but what's left is worth the view now...it's crazy how people lived at this elevation...More
Don’t miss the Ashcroft Ghost Town 10 miles out of town. Here you will find a hotel, general store, post office and a few homes. It flourished in the 1880’s when there were over 2,000 living there; at that time it was larger than Aspen....More
