Agua Caliente Road travels through the Arizona desert from Arlington to the ghost town of Agua Caliente. Along the way it passes by a place that has more questions than answers. The mysterious ghost town of Sundad.
Very little information is known about Sundad. A quick search online will show that it was the site of a tuberculosis sanitarium in the 1920s, but the sources on that seem to be lacking. What is known however is that Sundad has been abandoned since the 1960s and someone or someones has turned it into a rock art canvas.
In this video we cross the Sonoran desert on Agua Caliente Road as we travel to check out the ghost town of Sundad, and see what we can find out for ourselves.
