Holcomb Valley ghost town

Even though nothing much remains of the booming mining days of this gold area of the San Bernardino Mountians, this area is still visited by hundreds of tourists every summer. Nestled between Fawnskin and Highway 18, just above Big Bear it's less than an hour's drive from the city.

Not far from Holcomb Valley is the giant Doble Mine, where "Lucky" Baldwin minded for gold and added to his many fortunes in Southern California.
