    Hiking

    This small mountain in the lower part does not see as many visitors as the center of Joshua Tree National Park. Leave the crowds behind and enjoy a hike to this peak and the scenic ruins of the old Mastodon Mine. In the 1930s, the Hulsey Family found some gold ore, but was not able to get to the main vain, so the mine was abandonded pretty soon.
