    Mountain biking

    Ashford Mine, at an elevation of 2,201 feet, offers a glimpse into Death Valley's mining history. This mine began in 1907, when Harold Ashford started prospecting. After winning a court battle for the land in 1910, Harold and his brothers worked the mine. Despite leasing it to investors who built a road and mill, the mine never broke even. It became inactive in the 1950s but remains a site of historical interest for mountain bikers exploring the area. Today, just a few structures are still sitting under the Death Valley sun.
