LOOK: Abandoned Colorado Motel in Sparsely Populated Ghost Town

WARNING: Under no circumstances should you enter this property. By doing so you risk bodily harm and/or prosecution for trespassing on private property.

Numerous factors have resulted in the state of Colorado being currently home to numerous abandoned homes, businesses, and even entire towns. While many of the abandoned towns once served as mining communities back in the 19th Century, not all communities that are now considered ghost towns are totally abandoned.

Out in the state's eastern plains sits Roggen, Colorado, a town that while technically considered a ghost town, is purportedly not totally abandoned.

However, one of the most notable buildings in this ghost town is actually abandoned and while visiting this place in person is highly prohibited for legal reasons as well as safety concerns, you can take a virtual tour of the abandoned Prairie Lodge Motel in Roggen, Colorado below.
