Crown King, Arizona

Crown King is a "living" ghost town, located in Yavapai County, Arizona at an elevation of 6,000 feet.  The site of a former gold mining town, Crown King is 28 miles west of Interstate 17 on Senator Highway (Bumble Bee exit) high in the Bradshaw Mountains.  Crown King is named after the Crowned King Mine, discovered in the early 1870s.  It's a nice day trip from Phoenix.
