Church On the Mount in Goldfield, Arizona
Originally uploaded by The Nite Tripper
This is a photograph that I took of the Church On the Mount in Goldfield, Arizona just outside of the city of Mesa. At one time, Goldfield was a prosperous gold mining town with a population larger than that of Phoenix, Arizona. However, that boom time was short lived, lasting only from 1893 until 1897. After the mines flooded, the place became a ghost town until a brief revival in the 1920's, after which the town busted again.
The Church On the Mount is located at the foot of the Superstition Mountain (in the background). It is a Baptist Church and services are held there every Sunday throughout the year.
