Cameo

Cameo is a ghost town in Mesa County, Colorado, the remains of a coal mining community that once operated in the area. The former townsite sits at an elevation of 4,787 feet and is reachable via I-70 Exit 46, making it one of the more accessible ghost towns along that corridor.

Visitors today will find little more than a historic footprint — Cameo has long since been abandoned, and the setting itself is the main draw. The easy highway access makes it a quick stop for history enthusiasts and photographers curious about Colorado's coal mining past.
