I explored an Arizona ghost town with an abandoned dentist's office, schoolhouse, and laundromat. The spot felt like stepping back in time.

• On a recent road trip across the American West, I made a stop at The Gold King Mine and Ghost Town. 
• The ghost town is part of the mining town of Haynes, Arizona.
• Today, visitors can explore an impressive collection of old buildings, antiques, and automobiles. 

I will never turn down a visit to a ghost town.

Whether exploring an abandoned castle in the Australian jungle or opening the door to an old miner's cabin in my home state of Colorado, the deserted destinations feel like traveling back in time.
