| no partners | | Did the 4WD to Chloride Cliffs, visited the high point there and drove back to the hike starting point. The GPS tracks for the drive and hike are posted and are most seriously recommended if you want to visit there. Chloride city is a mining ghost town and there are a maze of dirt roads and trails along the way with absolutely no signs or cairns to guide you. I was fortunate to have hiked up from the Keane Wonder mine trailhead 5 years ago and recorded a track for that. So discovering the trail to Big Bell was not a problem but would have been if not for that track.
This is a great drive and hike with spectacular views from the high point at Chloride Cliffs and a lot of surviving equipment and structures to see at Big Bell. You can also walk into the adits for some distance to see what that was like. A well preserved mining site. |
