We go off-road and explore two mines in under 10 minutes! In this episode of Offroad Exploring we take The NotARubicon to the Gold Standard Mine and Brooklyn Mine near Joshua Tree National Park. In the video we show you exactly how to get to these old mines, how rough the road is and what you will find in the mines. GPS coordinates are also provided in the video.
To get to the Golden Standard and Brooklyn mines we took Old Dale Road in Joshua Tree National Park to the Brooklyn Mine Jeep trail, and follow it up into the wash, about 14 miles from Pinto Basin Road. After passing the Rose of Peru mine, we continue another half-mile to the Gold Standard Mine, then on to the Brooklyn Mine.
A vehicle with 4 wheel drive and high clearance is required to get to these places.
Note: We are not mine-exploring experts however we have been to both of these mines previously with guides that are very experienced mine-explorers so we are familiar with these mines. In general, exploring mines can be dangerous. Never enter an abandoned mine that you are not familiar with and never allow children or pets in or near abandoned mines.
