INFO
Chloride Cliff
Chloride Cliff and Chloride City can be reached by vehicle using three routes. Two dirt roads leading to the site intersect with Highway 374 (one starts in Nevada near the park boundary and the other is found between miles 10 and 11 along 374). The other route intersects with Highway 95 (14.1 miles south of Beatty). Once you reach Chloride City there are roads going all over the place that make exploration by vehicle easy. There are plenty of ruins to look at and lots great views. The park service has blocked access to most tunnels. To get to Big Bell Mine, you will have to do some walking. (Click here for area map)
