Mining community established in 1852, east of Michigan Bluff. There is a narrow 14 mile trail along steep mountainsides between Last Chance, Deadwood, and Michigan Bluff which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 26, 1995, and is now a segment of the Western States Trail. This trail, once a toll-trail, crosses two deep river canyons and is the most arduous part of a longer route used by 19th century gold miners.
