The Allure of Garnet
Despite Garnet’s reputation for scaring people, some visitors return to this ghost town. And it’s not just for the thrill—the surrounding area offers breathtaking views of the Potomac Valley and the mountains.
Even in the summer, visitors can take a stroll and explore the town, as well as the 116 miles of trails that wind through the region. Along the way, hikers may come across old mining artifacts and other remnants of the area’s past, tucked away in the vegetation or along the mountainside. Despite its spooky vibe, Garnet remains a fascinating destination for those who dare to venture there.
