Highlight • Trail

There is a big gravel lot at the trailhead and access to a network of dirt trails that wind their way up into the hills. Rinconada Mercury Mine is just west of the trailhead. The ruins have been heavily graffitied with brightly colored art and the mine opens up to a huge cave in the ground.
