Trio Of Mines

High on the southeast slope of East Ord Mountain lie a chain of three abandoned gold and silver mines from the early 20th century. Ford Mine to the south west, Grand View Mine in the middle and Ord Belt Gold Mine to the north east. Each mining site has plenty to offer providing stunning views and old mill site ruins to explore. The trail will ascend over 2000' above the valley floor showcasing panoramic views of Anderson Dry Lake and the San Bernardino Mountains. Majority of the trail can be enjoyed by most using a standard 4x4 SUV but the last section of the trail will require a more capable vehicle and an experienced driver.
