Castle Dome Landing

Tucked into the Castle Dome Mountains of Yuma County, Arizona, Castle Dome Landing is a ghost town with roots stretching back to roughly 1863, when the area was still the Arizona Territory. It took shape as a transport depot and mining camp, making it one of the earlier established settlements in this remote corner of what would become the state of Arizona.

Visitors today encounter a historic site where the desert setting and remnants of that 19th-century past define the experience. Because documented details about current remains and access infrastructure are limited, it's worth researching conditions locally before heading out — Yuma County ghost towns in this range can involve rough roads and minimal signage.
