Description
One of the earliest sites of
mining in Death Valley can be reached
via a loop drive. Two miles from the
Daylight Pass Road is Monarch
Canyon where the road becomes deeply
rutted. The side road to Chloride City
and Chloride Cliff beyond climbs
steeply to the right at 5.3 miles. Loop
back to the paved road an easier way by
continuing northeast down the road
from the Chloride City junction.
