Two weeks after Ed and James Clifford discovered silver in 1905, forty tents and a saloon
appeared on this barren, desolate region. The population peaked in 1908 with 100 houses and tents, various saloons, dance halls,
stores and a post office. As with so many other mining towns, the ore soon ran out, and Clifford was abandoned. Since Clifford is located only two miles from a major highway, we do not consider it secluded. Wood for campfires is scarce. Camping is not recommended.
