The Desert View Trailhead is located at the northwestern corner of Twin Peaks Campground. There are restrooms and drinking water available as well as a trail register that you can sign. The Desert View Trail is 1.1-mile loop that takes you through a beautiful natural cactus garden with giant Saguaros and plenty of Organ Pipe Cacti.

The Victoria Mine is the oldest mine in southwestern Arizona. There are some remains of the shafts that are an habitat for bats today. The mine was prospected for gold, silver, copper and lead. You can also find some scattered mining equipment around the mine.

There are restrooms and ample parking at the trailhead. This loop is really well maintained and makes for a great warm-up lap to get a feel for the desert. There is a small climb and a delightful variety of cacti to marvel at along the path.

Victoria Mine is one of many erected in this area during the gold (and silver) rush of the 1890s. During its first decade, Victoria Mine yielded a veritable fortune of silver ore to Mexican businessman Cipriano Ortega. The mine was used all the way through 1976, and while the mine shafts are closed off you can walk up to and around the ruins of the old mining building.

The trail is easy and pretty, and runs along loose silty gravel all the way to the mine. You can cruise along flat terrain with a couple small climbs in and out of seasonal washes. The trail crosses the washes perpendicularly at every crossing, so be mindful not to turn down a wash accidentally.

It is a good place to run on asphalt or trail 🏃, and also to roll 🚲 MTB, ROUTE, and a bit of downhill, there is always where to park, it is very nice and safe, greetings to all!
