Crown King is rich in history. Experience an echo of the past when Crown King was a booming gold mining town. The first gold mine was claimed on July 1st, 1875, and Crown King’s post office was established June 29th, 1888.
The now-living ghost town is located in the pine-laden forest of the Bradshaw Mountains, in the Prescott National Forest approximately two hours from Phoenix to the south, and Flagstaff to the north. With four gentle seasons you can experience an awesome snow-covered winter wonderland, the colorful falling leaves of autumn, spring flowers aplenty, refreshing monsoons and warm sultry afternoons with the birds and butterflies of summer. There are miles and miles of trails for hiking, biking, and off-roading, or just communing with nature, with something for everyone, from easy to challenging.

Clear, fresh mountain air, endless blue skies by day with countless stars in the evening, breathtaking mountain views with true peace and tranquility await you. Crown King offers you the opportunity to experience the sights, sounds and history of this secluded ghost town, 6000 feet above the desert floor.
