Melmont Ghost Town
Melmont was founded in 1900 along the Carbon River. A coal mining town built by a subsidiary of the Northern Pacific Railway. The town boasted a schoolhouse, saloon, powder house, train depot, post office and numerous cottages, among others. The coal the mines produced was tracked to nearby Carbonado for processing. As the coal production began to decline, so did the population. The town being nearly deserted sometime in the early 1920's, many of the buildings were destroyed by fire. The trail is an easy, approximately 2 mile RT, hike if you start at the Fairfax Bridge. (Carbonado, Washington)
