Silver City is the name of an inholding in Sequoia National Park located at Mile 21 on the 25-mile road to Mineral King.[5] It consists of 58 fee-simple lots, 39 of which have cabins on them, plus a commercial area consisting of a store, restaurant and several rental cabins called the Silver City Mountain Resort.[6] It is classified as a transient non-community because it is occupied only during the spring, summer and fall but not during the winter.[citation needed]
