Oro Belle
Oro Belle is Now a Ghost Town

What's Oro Belle all ?

The Oro Belle Mining and Mill Company was started around 1898. One can still see foundations of buildings and the safe house, although the safe is gone.  The Oro Belle mine was shut down in 1908. The saloon, including the bar, are now in Crown King having been transported there in 1910.

How do I get to Oro Belle?

Oro Belle is not too hard to find, but requires a 4-wheel-drive vehicle. From Phoenix take I-17 (the Black Canyon Freeway) North to Crown King exit. The Oro Belle Mine was five miles southwest of Crown King, 3 miles from what was the Old Senator Highway.
