The Ghost Town that's Still Alive - Chloride, Arizona


This is the view from Chloride, Arizona "the land of far horizons" and you can see why.  The name of this town came from the silver chloride found and mined in the hills.  It is a great place to stop and see how the locals live among the "ghosts".  There are many trails nearby to hike, bike and walk and even some petroglyphs above town - ask a local about them.  A visitor center is located in the Mine Shaft Market and is a great way to learn about the area.

Wildlife was a little scarce in the heat of the desert but we had many Jack rabbits and California Quail to keep us entertained.
