Skidoo - historic Death Valley mining ruins in the picturesque Panamint Mountains!

While Death Valley has many ghost towns, none was more successful from 1907 to 1917 than Skidoo. Over that ten year period, over 1.5 million dollars in gold was extracted from the region before the boom ended, and the town went bust - and was abandoned. Today, over a hundred years later, the Skidoo mining region has many abandoned buildings, including an impressive ruin of a 15 Stamp Mill that was fed by a gravity water system. Like many of Death Valley's other ghost town's, much of the adventure of Skidoo is in getting there, and exploring it. If you're headed to Skidoo today; be prepared to off-road over nine miles; and be prepared for remote conditions. As a last fun fact, Skidoo became a phrase - to "skidoo" meant to get lost - a meaning that survives the town today.
