Chloride, Arizona
Venture to the little mining town of Chloride. Founded in 1863, Silver and other minerals were mined here for decades in the late 1800s. Eventually, operations were closed down and it became a ghost town. Though a few residents remained and it's considered the oldest continuously inhabited mining town in the state.
Drive Along Historic Route 66
One of the original highways systems in the US, it since become one of the most famous roads in the country. It served as a primary road for those migrating west and was important in culture and media. It was officially removed from the United States Highway System in 1985 as it had been replaced by other highway segments. Since then, it's been readopted as Historic Route 66 and holds many hidden treasures of the American West.

Eldorado Canyon Historic Gold Mining Town
With a past of blood and gold, the Eldorado Canyon embodied the true Wild West. This area housed civil war deserters and murderers in its past but the history goes back farther. Like the surrounding regions, this area is rooted in the Ancestral Pueblo peoples. After them, the Paiute and Mojave tribes lived in the region mostly undisturbed before the Spanish.
