You’ll find Norval hidden in Kern River canyon, a faded gold rush settlement where cement foundations and rusting equipment mark where fortune-seekers once worked the Big Blue mine’s rich deposits. The remote location demands a high-clearance 4×4, offline navigation tools, and plenty of water as you navigate terrain that hasn’t changed much since the 1880s. Consider pairing Norval with nearby ghost towns like Calico or Ballarat to create an unforgettable multi-day adventure through California’s mining heritage.
