Bankhead Historical Site (Trails + Ruins)
Bankhead emerged as a vibrant, company‑built town powered by anthracite coal extraction, wealthy in amenities for its era. Yet by 1922, labor disputes, market shifts, and environmental policy led to its collapse. Today, the site endures as a ghost town interpretive walk, where you can explore engine rooms, boilers, tipples, and relics of a vanished early‑20th-century community—making history visible among the Rockies.
