[1] Skidoo is a ghost town located in Death Valley National Park.

[4] Skidoo is representative of the boom towns that flourished in Death Valley during the early 20th century.

The town's livelihood depended primarily on the output of the Skidoo Mine, a venture operating between 1906 and 1917.

First the town possessed the only milling plant in the desert operated almost completely by water power.

Second, the construction of the water pipeline was a phenomenal engineering feat; its scar can still be seen between its origin near Telescope Peak and the mill site.
