Overview

Within the Superstition Mountains, not far from San Diego, this is a neat area that is perfect for getting away from the crowds, relaxing, and enjoying the beauty of the deserts. Near the western end of the hills is a cut-through that takes you from the soft sandy area to where some of the more popular rock crawling trails are. Mine Trail will cut through the hills, passing an old strip mine, and pop you out on the other side. This is a great trail as it is lightly used meaning it is a lightly used trail and great for a relaxing drive. If you are in the area, need a place to camp, or just take a relaxing drive, check out Mine Trail in the Superstitions.
