Tiny Bradshaw Mountains mining hamlet on the dirt Senator Highway between I-17 and Crown King, with weathered false-front buildings and the still-operating Cleator Bar & Yacht Club as a living remnant of the early-1900s gold-camp era. Best enjoyed as a roadside historic stop—most structures are private; stay on the public road and respect residents.
