A fun place to explore with mine shafts and the stone ruins of an old cabin.

An easy hike where you can see some fascinating Joshua Tree gold mining history, along with giant boulders, birds and wildlife, a microclimate with scrubby oak trees, and some rocky mountain views. Distance: 4.9 miles Difficulty: Easy

Desert Queen Mine - There are lots of mines in Joshua Tree that you can explore, especially if you have some of the other maps. Desert Queen Mine is on the park map though, and it’s a relatively easy one to find. From the dirt parking lot, it’s about a quarter mile walk to an overlook that lets you gaze down on the mine and all of the mine shafts that scatter the hillside.

Looking for some historic evidence of the pioneer days? Check out the Desert Queen Mine site. Lots of fun trails around the area. Just use caution and stay out of the mine shafts!

This short desert hike visits a gold mine that operated profitably for decades on land now protected by Joshua Tree National Park. An overlook across from the mine is reachable via an easy 0.7-mile round trip trail, and the excursion can be extended to 1.6 miles by crossing a canyon to the mine itself. Begin hiking on the nearly level Desert Queen Mine Trail (just to the right of the bathrooms at the trailhead for Desert Queen Mine and Pine City). Not far from the start, the trail passes an old stone foundation with a bed frame still inside. These ruins are a few hundred feet from the trail, easy to spot, and worth exploring. After a third of a mile, the trail comes to an overlook on the edge of a small canyon opposite the site of Dawn Queen Mine. The mine was operational from 1895 until 1961, and the remains are well preserved.
