Chloride is one of Arizona’s oldest continuously inhabited mining camps, silver-rich from the 1860s in the Cerbat Mountains. False-front buildings, galleries, and Roy Purcell’s colorful hillside murals draw day-trippers from Kingman. Easy paved access; nearby hills hold historic diggings—never enter open shafts or private claims.
