All hail the queen!: Desert Queen Mine

Desert Queen mine is another quick hike to history. You can hike up the trail that overlooks the mine or take the slightly longer trail that takes you across a canyon to the mine. This was the last hike we went on and we didn't have much time so we just went to the overlook. You can also get to the Boyscout Trail and Pine City Trail from the Desert Queen Mine trailhead.

If you take the time to hike down to the mine you can see old machinery and around 20 fenced off mine shafts.
