Mineral King, Historic district in Sequoia National Park, California.
The Mineral King valley extends across 7.5 miles through the southern Sierra Nevada, featuring granite peaks that reach elevations of 11,000 feet.
Native Americans from Yokuts and Tubatulabal tribes established summer settlements in the valley for hunting purposes before Harry O'Farrell discovered silver deposits in 1862.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized the Mineral King Road Cultural Landscape in 2003, preserving the legacy of mining camps and settlements.
The valley provides 61 tent campsites at Atwell Mill and Cold Springs campgrounds, accessible through a 25-mile mountain road from Highway 198.
Walt Disney Productions planned to construct a ski resort in the valley during 1966, but environmental groups prevented the development through legal actions.
