Ballarat Ghost Town - Death Valley National Park
Ballart is a ghost town in Death Valley National Park. This was a mining area between 1890-1905 with 400-500 people living in this area. After the mining operations were suspended, the town vanished leaving the old traces of buildings, few vehicles, graveyard, jail and few houses.
I visited this place in the summer on June21,2018. There were no visitors, it looked really scary all the way while driving and exploring the places.
There is no mobile network around this town and in the way. The nearest grocery store or any shop is 40-60 miles away. It was little adventurous driving alone and exploring this place.

Camping at Death Valley National Park, California 前進死谷《美國，加州》
The hottest air temperature ever recorded in Death Valley was 134 °F (56.7 °C) on July 10, 1913, at Furnace Creek, which is the hottest atmospheric temperature ever recorded on earth. In the hot summer, many humans have not survived the heat, crops definitely can not grow in this oven. The name of this national park fits… Death Valley. We were fortunate enough to be there around Thanksgiving week, when the temperature was 80 °F (26 °C) and very comfortable yet very dry.
死谷，有史以來，於1913年7月10號這天，於Furnace Creek，記錄到氣溫高達攝氏56.7度(華氏134度)！盛夏時，可是個會熱死人的地方，也是個農作物無法生長的地方，正如其名。好在我們選擇去死亡谷的時間點是十一月中下旬，約攝氏26度(華氏80度)上下，氣溫適中乾燥，非常適合旅遊。

The Mayor of a Ghost Town (Population: 1)
Welcome to Ballarat, California, population one. Located in the heart of the unforgiving Death Valley, the former mining supply town has been abandoned for nearly 100 years. Were it not for Rock Novak, the town’s only resident, Ballarat would belong to the vultures.
“I’m the caretaker, the mayor, the sheriff, the judge, and the undertaker [of Ballarat],” Novak says in Mickey Todiwala and Monika Delgado’s short documentary, The Mayor of Ballarat. “I like it out here. It’s peaceful, quiet…you do as you want.” Read more:
The Mayor of Ballarat was directed by Mickey Todiwala and Monika Delgado. It is part of The Atlantic Selects, an online showcase of short documentaries from independent creators, curated by The Atlantic.

Chloride City Death Valley
Chloride City is located on the northern end of the Funeral Mountains in a remote part of Death Valley. We drove this road on April 20, 2018. This is an interesting drive that takes one to a the site (still a few crumbled ruins about including a “Cousin Jack”, many old mine portals and even a “mysterious” Grave. The town was established in 1905 when the Bullfrog, Nevada, gold discovery brought people into the area. The Death Valley National Park website describes it this way: “It became a ghost town the following year. There are numerous adits and dumps in the area and one grave of a James McKay, of whom nothing is known. In addition, there are remains of 3 stamp mills. It is located off a four wheel drive road 3.5 miles east of Hell’s Gate or off the dirt road 7 miles further east at the Park boundary.”
We accessed this road at the approximate 3.5 mile mark east of Hells gate. Traveling either direction this road is at first not easy to find. We drove right past it the first time traveling east. Turned around and found it “barely” coming back down (west) toward Devils Gate. Heading east (upgrade) the road is located off a curve and turns to the right. Downgrade (west) it leaves the road to the left.
The road is listed in some descriptions as high clearance 2wheel drive. I had my High clearance Jeep so used 4 wheel drive and I would recommend it if you do drive this road, it was much smoother on the loose rock and steep sections. The road condition to the site of Chloride and the grave is not bad as you will see in the video. Just use caution as always. Past the Ghost town the roads are much steeper, have bigger rocks and very steep drop offs (shelf roads). Also, many old mines adits and structures are scattered in the area and the roads to these and untamed as well. I used low range 4x4, and for ease and less slipping the lockers a few times. With that all said, enjoy a trip to Chloride City and area located in Death Valley National Park.
