Overview

In the desert near Joshua Tree National Park is an amazing little secret of the desert, Doberman Mine. Doberman Mine isn't the main attraction, it is the remnants of the abandoned mining camp that still remains. Most of the structures are now just foundations, but there are a few rock structures around the area that are amazing to see. With over a dozen foundations and structures still remaining, this can easily be a stop when enjoying an overland trip down Old Dale Road or in the high desert of Southern California.
