Does anybody else get that tingling in their heart when they see places like this ? We don't have ghost towns like this in the U.K. Seeing places like this is the reason I'd visit the USA. I look at the images and I can hear the horse hooves and the old wagons creaking past.

We have ghost villages here in Ireland that were flourishing at around the time of the potatoe famine. People either left in search of a better life died from starvation or were kicked out of their homes because they couldn't afford to pay their rent and the villages were just left to rot. I know of one such village in County Mayo where the last resident died in 1978 and today if you asked anyone where the village was they wouldn't be able to tell you it seems like the village had just been wiped out of people's memories. I still go and visit the place every now and then it's a shame the village is still standing our Government could do the houses up and let our homeless people move into them

I spent some time in Garnet when I was a kid, back in the mid 80's. I loved ramming around the old buildings. My grandparents were involved in fund raising for preserving the site, back before the state really got involved in the process. I slept in the large, dark brown building a few nights, I believe it was the hotel back in the day. There was an old play ground up the hill, to the west I believe, chain swings suspended between trees if I recall correctly. It was about a quarter mile hike to get to. I seem to remember that my great grandmothers folks worked or were somehow occupied in Garnet before the depression. Anyway, great clip, it was a pleasant stoll down memory lane.

Awesome comment! My first trip to Garnet was in the early ‘70’s myself. They had just started the process of stabilizing and preservation. The swings you talked about may have been near the old schoolhouse up the hill just west of town. I respect your grandparents being involved in this great historical site. It’s people like them that made Garnet what it is today and for future generations. Thanks again for your first-hand experiences in Garnet. What a treasure. Dave.

Many thanks for your kind words. Yes, those were simpler days back then. I am so glad that my video made a peaceful impression on you. I must say, this is one of my favorite videos! I had a full day to myself and ended up in Granite by accident (I took the back road instead of the "normal" road). This gave me a lot of time to just explore and capture what ever I found interesting. When you go to Garnet plan on spending an entire day imagining what life was like over a hundred years ago. Can you hear the kids playing in the streets and see horse drawn wagons bringing in supplies? The aroma of freshly baked breads from wood-fed ovens linger in the air waiting for the miners to return home for their evening meal. And you couldn't wait for the weekend thinking about the social gatherings! Just spend time walking the dirt streets and let your imagination run wild (as I just did!) reliving the history of the area.Again, thanks for viewing and commenting. I do appreciate it!

Visited a few years ago. Beautiful location with tons of cool stuff to view. The main road from hwy 200 is well maintained, but take the other way, from I 90 (the back entrance), and you will definitely feel like you just entered into another time. A single lane dirt road that necessitates high ground clearance, possibly 4 wheel drive, and for miles. This place is worth a visit.

The I90 side is a bit more challenging, improved a bit since my first journey in 1974 (long before the hwy 200 side was built). It is called China Grade and you know you have been on a "mountain" road; not suitable for trailers or those who are "steep and narrow-two-track--mountain-road" challenged! My preference has always been the I90 side. Thanks again! Dave.

@@davidegg22 Thank you! I will come see it.

Thank you David. That was really awe inspiring. As I was looking at all those reminders of the past, it forced thoughts of today. It makes one take pause and wonder what happened to the world since then. Seeing many things like my grandparents and aunts and uncles owned gave me a feeling of being empty and feeling very hollow inside. I have to admit that those were the best days of this nation; it was rough, and not as convenient, but so 'very much healthier.' What happened?

Great video. My wife and I were there a few years ago. You can buy tee shirts that say I made the trip to Garnet! The road is long and pure torture. Don’t take a good car? Maybe borrow one from your neighbor you don’t like, don’t tell him where you went. Ha ! Good place to visit with kids, lot’s to look at and room to explore and run. Thanks and God bless.

Too funny! You must have come in from I90 up China Grade! You should have been on this road back in the '70's before they upgraded it! A school bus route is now available from MT.200 on the north part of the range. Thanks for viewing and telling us about your experiences. And yes, keep your neighbor in the dark! He will wonder why his new shiny car now looks and runs like an old beater! Dave.

I love finding and exploring ghostly places I can only imagine the places I would see in the "West".

It looks like a trip to the "West" is in your future! So much to see, so little time. Thanks for watching and commenting. Dave.

Thanks for commenting. I think you are right, snow machines may be needed for access this time of year and most of the bears are now going into hibernation. I hear Garnet is REALLY quiet and peaceful in the wintertime. I should try to get up there one of these winters. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Dave.

awesome , it's beautifull one merveille !

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video. Question. If you were to pick 5 or 6 ghost towns in the region accessible by a Subaru, what are your top picks? Thanks again for your great videos. 👍

Steve, many thanks for watching and asking. Garnet is accessible by car from both the I90 and the MT-200 sides. The MT-200 side is an easy drive (school bus route) and the I90 route isn't for everyone due to the steepness. Granite is accessible by car just like Elkhorn, Comet, Coolidge and Glendale. I have captured all of these ghost towns and posted them on my channel. Another ghost town that comes to mind is Bannack. It's been years since I explored that country, but it is a state park and easily accessible. Thanks again for viewing and commenting. Do have fun exploring Montana's ghost towns. Dave in western Montana.

I've been there, years ago, and it was pretty neat. Looks better now.

A lot of volunteers help keep Garnets history alive by stabilizing buildings, work in the visitors center (Memorial Day weekend thru Labor Day weekend) and general cleanup. Thanks for watching and commenting. Dave.

Beautifully done really enjoyed watching, boy don't you wish walls could talk?

We visited there four summers ago. Enjoyed it very much. Not handicapped accessible, though. Took some walking. When we left and headed north towards Missoula, we saw a wolf that ran across the dirt road in front of us! That was about one third of the way back to the main road.

Awesome! I am glad you enjoyed your visit and actually had the opportunity to see wildlife. Yes, ghost towns can be a challenge for some people. At least they have provided wheelchair access to some of the buildings. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Dave.

Been there several times. Very historical. To see photos of its past

Ken, thanks for viewing and commenting. Yes, pictures go way back. It is fun to study them and try to recreate peoples daily lives. I took my first pictures of Garnet in the early ‘70’s during the start of the stabilization/preservation movement. Thank goodness for volunteers and the foresight they had to help preserve Garnet for future generations. Thanks again. Dave.

We are going there tomorrow!

I feel so sad when see agricultural equipment and homes abandoned long ago. It really doesn't seem right. Yes, it give me the tingles and shivers. I feel I was once there and feel the pain of leaving such a lovely place.

Yes, I have been to Virginia City. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKZtybWglZqtf7g.html and to Nevada City kzread.info/dash/bejne/hGSLxZJpedq4d7w.html a couple of miles away. Great examples of the preservation of Montana gold rush history. Thanks again for viewing. Dave in Missoula.

5:00 I just caught a glimpse and had to back it to see if I really saw it, but ...wow The Majestic was a White Star Line ship captained by Smith as well as Lightoller having served on it prior to being assigned to the Titanic. Her last crossing was in 1914 and then she was sold for scrap, so I couldn't help but wonder if this stove ( I'm assuming that is a door on one ) came from it or if it is just a decoration piece. Fascinating history in just that single shot if this is one of them. 👍

I want to live there, very beautiful
