Dorothy, AB Ghost Town Walking Tour

Join me as I explore the ghost town of Dorothy, AB in Alberta not too far from Drumheller. My first visit here was in 2003 and I show a couple before and after shots. #abandoned #ghosttown

I love these ghost towns. Dorothy is quite beautiful. I love that they restored the churches. Thanks for sharing these gems with us. Great video

It looks and sounds so dry there. Fascinating!

[@garyangelstad5212]

Drive through there on my way east. Love that valley. And the one way bridge

[@attrell]

I agree

[@santysouk]

Very nice. No wonder why they picked Dorothy to shoot Ghostbusters: Afterlife. They also have kreepy a campground.

I love that playgound

Hi Chris, Dorothy looks like an amazing visit and very photogenic in every aspect day or night, I wish we had places like this in the u. k but unfortunately they would be destroyed and removed for new housing developments or destroyed by youths..... Sighn of the times in my country and such a shame. Great Viideo and many thanks for showing us around this fantastic open space.... 😊❤

[@attrell]

Thanks for watching!

MOD has a few,With opening day's

That place must have been a going concern at one time to have had two churches. Thanks, Chris.

[@attrell]

Especially since it was not very many people in the area.

Hello Chris, This reminds me of the Ghost town of Neidpath, SK., except Dorothy is missing some Grain Elevators. Great tour, thank you!

[@attrell]

Thank you!!

So many small country towns that just about made the 100 years mark......they came, they stayed, built houses, farms, stores and churches, and then they went away again.....

[@comebychance]

Those churches have a small fortune of wood in them.

I was travelling from BC to Saskatoon to visit relatives, and had planned to take #1 through Regina - but Google maps promised me a faster route, and I didn't pull over to inspect it. Next thing you know I am travelling down gravel roads in +32 degree heat in a 10 year old car. No cell service. Was getting pretty freaked out as I didn't expect to be in the middle of nowhere in that heat. Suddenly the route takes me down this winding gravel road that is cutting into a butte ( I can see it in your video! haha) , I thought for sure it was some old washed out mining road. Then it took me over this rickety looking old 1 lane bridge! It was insane - finally someone was coming the other way, but they said Google maps led them down this crazy route as well! Anyhow, shortly after the rickety bridge I saw Dorothy and that was the first time I felt somewhat ok - like civilization wasn't too far away.

[@attrell]

I used to do trips like that for fun all the time! :)

[@welcome_Moscow_walks]

Fantastic tour 😊

[@attrell]

Thank you!

What was the temperature at that time? Everything is dead, no rain has fallen for a very long time? Greetings from the Netherlands [Europe]

WInter had ended 1 week earlier when I was there

[@Hogger280]

[@attrell]

A prank :)
