Chloride is not for everyone. If you are looking for "lots of things to do", well, Chloride has SOME things to do but it's still just being "Chloride". It gets crazy on occasion, but mostly it's a quiet little village, part of what was once a busy mining town. Now speaking as a hobby "ghost investigator", I've found Chloride to have it's share of spooks and spirits. I once recorded a sexy male voice at the old (real) two cell jail, saying "yes ma'am!" I don't know what I said for it to say that but I wish I could hear that voice all the time. The "fake ghost town" is actually really haunted. We've spotted "shadow people" there in the evening and recorded ghost voices in one of the buildings. It's a fun "photo op" during the day and its interesting to note that the fake graveyard tombstones have the names of old mines from the area, no longer in production. If you go to the real cemetery, it is fascinating in itself, very unique but windblown as heck. Dress warm on cool days. There is also a small plot just a bit further down the road where a few miners were buried after being killed by local indians. It is surrounded by a chain link enclosure. A very sad and introspective place to visit. If you don't mind a bumpy ride (4 wheel drive recommended), you can go back in the rocks to see the Purcell murals, painted back in the 70s by artist Roy Purcell, who was later the curator of the Mohave Museum of History and Arts in Kingman. His artistry was not appreciated at the time ( he was stopped by the police but went right back to work on it afterward). Yes, Chloride may not have the "fun" you expect to have while cruising down 66 (it is actually about 25 miles OFF 66), but the beautiful sunsets and the LACK OF INTERNET and PHONE connections will make a sweet and relaxing experience.
The Park is open during daylight hours but the photo is misleading. Pets are not allowed but there is a dog run over at nearby Lewis Kingman Park.
