Lost mines, abandoned diggings, ghost towns...
Today, the old hotels and saloons stand in mute testimony to a fabled past when prospectors came to gamble, find and lose a fortune, or die without revealing the location of a rich and elusive mine. Their tales continue to fascinate and intrigue, and even haunt us.
Best Documentary Award-winning "Ghosts of the West: The End of the Bonanza Trail" relates stories of towns from mineral strike to boom to bust, revealing their ultimate fates and legacies. A Q&A with writer-director E. S. Knightchilde follows each presentation.
NOTE: The screenings on Saturday, October 7, and Sunday, October 8, are preceded by "The Haunted West," a multimedia lecture presented by the creator of "Ghosts of the West." Special lecture + movie ticket combos are available online for those dates under the listing for "The Haunted West."
Crews are working to improve access to and from Rocky Mountain National Park with the Downtown Estes Loop Project.
