Old Dale Road & Gold Crown Road (Dale Mining District), Joshua Tree National Park, California
View Original Description
Old Dale Road leads to an abundance of mining history in both the Dale and Monte Negras mining districts. This 23-mile (37.3-km) Old Dale Road starts at the same point as Black Eagle Mine Road off the paved Pinto Basin Road. The first 11 miles (17.8 km), cross Pinto Basin, a flat, sandy, dry-lake bed. Leaving the basin, the road climbs a steep hill, then crosses the park boundary.
A number of side roads veer off toward old mines and residences.
The main road leads to HWY 62, 15 miles (24.3 km) east of Twentynine Palms.
