In 1904 Frank Murphy, a renowned railroad builder, built a railroad that many believed was impossible. This railroad ran from Mayer to the silver mines at Crown King over an unimaginably rugged landscape. This railroad was so amazing that folks today come from all over the world to view its route. While the railroad has been gone since 1924, its route is closely followed by a gravel road. We’ll journey to Crown King, visiting old sites along the railroad route, and talking about the history of the area. We’ll stop at the site of Bradshaw City, once with a population of 5,000, the Crown King Saloon, dating from 1898, the old Middleton town site, and the Cleator Yacht Club (not to be missed). Lot’s of short easy walks, but a long bumpy road. Activity Rating: 1
