We've ridden through several ghost towns, but all were on a main drag, had lots of tourists lurking, and gift shops. We found this one way off the path. You had to be going here to get here. As is standard operating practice, we were early and had the place to ourselves for a while. It was the real deal, albeit preserved by the state. Bannack used to be the county seat until the railroad went through and sucked the population away. Oh yeah, all the gold got sucked out of the ground too.
