Often forgotten, the old mining days of 29 Palms, back then Old Dale was a gold-rich time for Californians. The history of the desert shows how great these areas once were and often still have signs of what it was. Out in the middle of nowhere, in the Old Dale district near Joshua Tree, there is one of the larger mines of the area. The Mission Mine is a wonder to see if passing through the area. The remittance of what was once before is something awe-inspiring and amazing. The trail is short and mild but the memories will last a lifetime. So if you are in the area, looking for something different, make the left turn and check out the Mission Mine.
