I hope this helps. The near-ghost town of Chloride is a great place to visit to see historic mining structures, some awesome rock art (prehistoric and modern) and has a great inn (a converted bordello) and wonderful food, atmosphere and is only a short distance from Bullhead City, Laughlin and Kingman.

I am heading there for 2 weeks and wonder if anything looks interesting in that area.� I am on the East Coast and am looking forward to a different view (and warmer weather).
