Frisco Ghost Town, Beaver County, Utah

Frisco was a booming mining town back in the days. Being founded around 1875, there are many buildings still standing, and evidence that millions of dollars of ore was pulled out of the surrounding area, leaving the town once wealthy. Each building tells its own unique story. We did not spend too much time exploring the area, as its was nasty hot and windy. Possibly someday, I'll return for some better photo ops.
 A small cabin with the Frisco Mountains in the background.
 The remnants of a stone house, telling stories of hard work and high hopes!
 The entry doorway to the same stone house, viewing through, into the "underground" cellar or room. 
I love the character of this run down falling house. This is one of the bigger houses in the area, but is showing signs that it will not be standing much longer.
