Candelaria, Nevada
Thanks to the large open pit silver mining operation (it was the largest in the United States a decade ago), this road is paved. Notice the vertical shaft (middle of the picture heading down and left) going down the opposite side of the open pit mine? That is where the high grade silver was found. The Esmeralda Bank (top) and Tarpey's Store are still standing. The large rock retaining wall once housed the Northern Belle Mine. There is still much to do and see here.
