Vulture City is near Wickenburg, AZ (about 90 miles west of Phoenix).  It was a gold and silver mining town in the late 1800’s with about 200 residents at it’s peak.  T0day it is privately owned and run as a tourist attraction.  For ghost town lovers that is both good and bad.  The buildings that remain are in relative good repair.  But in order to keep people interested things have been modified a bit to make it look more authentic.  “Props” have been added here and there.  But over all it is pretty authentic and worth poking around with camera in hand.
