Chloride City, California, sits at an elevation of 4,770 feet and is one of Death Valley's oldest mines. Established in 1905 after the silver and gold discovery, legend has it that in 1871, August J. Franklin picked up a rock to strike a rattlesnake and found silver ore. Today, all that is left are numerous adits, dumps, old buildings (some of the only shade here), and the grave of James McKay. The town also has the remains of three stamp mills. You'll find more remnants scattered around Chloride Cliff Road and its side trails.
