The Friends of Cerro Gordo

The Friends of Cerro Gordo The Friends of Cerro Gordo is a 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation established to assist in the preservation, interpretation of Cerro Gordo ghost town.

On August 13, 2014, exactly one hundred years and 30 days after the anniversary of the incorporation of Cerro Gordo Mines under the direction of Louis D. Gordon, the Friends of Cerro Gordo joined hands with town owner, Sean Patterson, in efforts to assist in the preservation, interpretation and public enjoyment of the town. In 2018 ownership of the town went to Brent Underwood and The Friends of Cerro Gordo continues to support the town.

🔥 Important Update: Seasonal fire restrictions are now in effect for BLM-managed public lands in the Eastern Sierra, covering Inyo, Mono, and portions of Alpine counties. These restrictions are in place due to dry conditions and high wildland fire danger.

Restrictions include no campfires or open flames outside of agency-provided fire rings at developed campgrounds, no smoking except in enclosed vehicles or buildings, no target shooting, and no motorized vehicles off designated roads or trails. As always, fireworks are prohibited on all BLM lands.

Help us prevent human-caused wildfires — 95% of California wildfires are caused by people. Please plan ahead, use caution, and recreate responsibly.
