Cerro Gordo Mines

A historic silver mining ghost town in the Inyo Mountains above Owens Valley, once home to thousands of miners and now being restored to preserve its history. The site is open to visitors without an appointment, and it has a shop with apparel and other items. It also hosts events, including the Cerro Gordo Silver Run, an 8-mile uphill race that climbs 4,600 vertical feet on the old mining road to the town. Volunteers who want to help with the restoration can reach out through the website.
