Andy wasn’t looking for a canyon. He just wanted some stone. But when he found a Craigslist ad for a small cabin and 10 acres, he followed his curiosity—and ended up uncovering something extraordinary. Set in the heart of the Tonto National Forest, the land had been privately owned and closed to the public since 1945. A forgotten ghost town. Hidden creeks. Wildlife and plant life thriving undisturbed. He spent the next few years clearing trails, restoring buildings, and bringing Ash Creek Canyon back to life. Today, it’s open to campers for the first time in nearly a century. 📍Ash Creek Canyon, Arizona Thinking of hosting?
