Lorman Mine - 29 Palms California in 4k UHD
For the full trail guide please visit:
In the desert near 29 Palms by Joshua Tree National Park is an amazing little secret of the desert, Lorman Mine also known as the Gold Crown Mine. Lorman Mine is a verticle mineshaft that is roughly 180 feet straight down. But in this case, the mine isn't the main attraction, it is the remanence of the abandoned mining camp that still remains. To get to this historic, but forgotten destination, you will need a 4x4 built for an off-road adventure. With over a dozen foundations and structures still remaining, this can easily be a stop when enjoying an overland trip down Old Dale Road. Thus the next time you are up for a new adventure, you should think about Lorman Mine near Doberman Mountain and Old Dale Road.

Berdoo Canyon Off-Road Trail: Joshua Tree California
For the full off-road trail guide please visit:
Berdoo Canyon is home to an old ghost town named Berdoo Camp. Berdoo camp was founded by the water district when California built the Colorado River Aqueduct that still provides water to Southern California. The Camp was built in the early 1930's for the workers and their families to live at while the aqueduct was being constructed under the mountain range. The camp was abandoned sometime in 1937 when the project was completed in the area, and the camp was no longer needed. Over the years the camp has been scraped of all the lumber from the roofs of the old concrete buildings. Now all that is left of the old camp are the skeletons of the concrete buildings that once housed the workers and their families

Off Road Exploring: Brooklyn Mine & Gold Standard Mine in Joshua Tree
We go off-road and explore two mines in under 10 minutes! In this episode of Offroad Exploring we take The NotARubicon to the Gold Standard Mine and Brooklyn Mine near Joshua Tree National Park. In the video we show you exactly how to get to these old mines, how rough the road is and what you will find in the mines. GPS coordinates are also provided in the video.
To get to the Golden Standard and Brooklyn mines we took Old Dale Road in Joshua Tree National Park to the Brooklyn Mine Jeep trail, and follow it up into the wash, about 14 miles from Pinto Basin Road. After passing the Rose of Peru mine, we continue another half-mile to the Gold Standard Mine, then on to the Brooklyn Mine.
A vehicle with 4 wheel drive and high clearance is required to get to these places.
Note: We are not mine-exploring experts however we have been to both of these mines previously with guides that are very experienced mine-explorers so we are familiar with these mines. In general, exploring mines can be dangerous. Never enter an abandoned mine that you are not familiar with and never allow children or pets in or near abandoned mines.
Pinkham Canyon Joshua Tree National Park
For the full trail guide please visit:
To some, Joshua Tree National Park is only a desert. It is actually two deserts, the higher elevation Mojave and the lower elevation Colorado. The result is amazing desert flora, rock formations and those wacky namesake trees (actually a type of yucca). Joshua Tree’s beauty shines around the clock, with vibrant sunsets melting into nights filled with uncountable stars. Joshua Tree National Park encompasses almost 800,000 acres, larger than Rhode Island. The Park offers hiking, photography, horseback riding, rock climbing, and camping, to name a few activities. Most 4x4 off-roaders love the Park for its trails. Almost all of the trails have a Gold or Silver Mine associated with it. Pinkham Canyons attraction is the Snow Cloud Mine, watch for Waypoint 4 for the turnoff to the north. So enjoy and explore with safety.

Off-Road Trail Review - Calcite Mine in Anza Borrego California in 4K UHD
For the full trail guide please visit:
The Calcite Mine is a historic landmark in the Truckhaven Hills in the Anza Borrego State Park. Because of the uniqueness of the mine, many people stop here when doing an overland trip through the deserts of Southern California. Getting to the mine is a moderate 4x4 trail with several obstacles that require a person to pick the right line. Recently someone went through the trail trying to make it easier but left a few off camber areas with some small ledges. This is a very short off-road run, perfect for a night run or a quick day trip if in the area. There are also several slot canyons in the area that make for a great hike.

Easy Off Road 4X4 Trails In Southern California
Are you new to off roading and looking for some easy 4x4 trails to get started on? This is the NotaRubicon’s list of favorite easy and beginner off-road trails. All of these 4x4 trails can be completed by any stock 4x4 vehicle and most are short enough that they can be completed in just a few hours.
Number 10 - Rainbow Basin
The very first trail that The Notarubion ever went on was Rainbow Basin . So easy, it can hardly be considered a trail, it’s a great dirt road for first-time off-road driver. Rainbow Basin is a colorful geologic formation in the Calico Peaks mountain range, about 8 miles north of Barstow just off of Ft. Irwin Road. The Rainbow basin is known for it’s beautifully colored rock formations.
Number 9 - The Red Canyon Jeep Trail
The Red Canyon Trail is a scenic trail that starts at Interstate 10 runs through the hills to Summit Road near Salton Sea. This trail is mostly flat easy road but there is one large, steep and intimidating hill to get up but any stock Jeep can make it easily.
Number 8 - The Bradshaw Trail
The Bradshaw Trail runs from Salton Sea to Blythe and is mostly flat, easy road with just a few sections of sand. There are several interesting things to see along the way including the abandoned Eagle Mountain railroad bridge.
Number 7 - Rattlesnake Canyon
Rattlesnake Canyon goes from highway 247 in Johnson Valley up into the mountains near Big Bear. There are a few sandy areas, a few narrow rocky spots, and usually mud in the winter months but any 4X4 Jeep or truck can complete this trail easily. Most times of the year you will find dozens of cows roaming free throughout the entire area
Number 6 - Burns Canyon Road (2N02)
Burns Canyon Road is an flat, easy dirt road that connects Pioneertown to Baldwin Lake near Big Bear. The Burns Canyon trail offers great views and also connects you with several other nearby trails such as Rattlesnake Canyon or harder trails such as Marble Canyon, Heartbreak Ridge and the Garden of Eden Jeep trail.
Number 5 - Lytle Creek Ridge
The Lytle Creek Ridge Trail is an easy trail composed mostly of fire roads and power line roads which cross the San Bernardino National Forest near the Cajon Pass. The trail runs from Lytle Creek to Lone Pine Canyon and offers beautiful views of the Inland Empire and Cajon Pass.
Number 4 - Old Dale Road
Old Dale Road in Joshua Tree runs through the Pinto Basin and into the Pinto Mountains, where it becomes Gold Crown Road. The route ends at Highway 62 not far from 29 Palms. There are dozens of abandoned mines and historic mining camps lining the route making it one of the NotaRubicon’s Favorites. There are a few rocky spots and shallow water crossing in winter months, but any stock Jeep or high-clearance 4x4 vehicle can travel this entire road easily.
Number 3 - Phillips Loop near Calico Ghost Town
UPDATE 2019 - Phillips Loop has become a bit washed out and may now be too difficult for some beginners! Drive at your own risk and don't go alone!
Phillips Loop is a beautiful scenic drive in the historic Calico mining district not far from Barstow. The loop takes you through the beautiful mountains and landscape of the Calico Mountains and takes you to Kramer’s Arch - an amazing natural structure large enough to drive your Jeep through.
Number 2 - Cajon Bypass (3N45)
Cajon Bypass (3N45) also known as Old Rt 66 is a short, rough, dirt road that was part of the Historic Route 66 over 100 years ago.
Starting at the summit of Cajon Pass behind where the Old Summit Inn once stood, it winds its way through the hills offering beautiful views of Cajon Pass before it connects to Highway 138
Number 1 - Cleghorn Trail (2N47)
The Notarubicon’s favorite trail! Cleghorn is a 14 mile long trail that is actually a flat dirt road but it has several optional offshoots that range from easy to difficult - perfect for practicing your off-road and 4X4 skills. Many of the offshoots on Cleghorn are steep, off-camber and full of deep ruts but if you stay on the road instead, it’s flat and easy making this the perfect trail for beginners to practice on.
