You’ll see remnants of the Gold Road from Route 66. Otherwise this hunt is as close as you’ll get to the former town at a former alignment of National Old Trails. Follow it down 600 ft to take great pictures of the abandoned road (still BLM land). But don’t go too far - 1/4 mile down & you encroach the mine’s property.
This is Arizona backcountry, watch for snakes Apr-Oct!

Gold Road was on Route 66 early to mid 1900’s. Abandoned mine tours were available once, but these stopped as gold value increased and mining continued.
