Скачать или смотреть Black Eagle Mine Road: A Journey Through History

Journey into the rugged backcountry of Joshua Tree National Park along Black Eagle Mine Road — a tough 4x4 trail that leads to abandoned gold mines, mysterious jade deposits, and one of the largest iron mines in the American West.

This video takes you along the entire route:
The sandy descent into Pinto Basin
Barry Storm’s Jade Mine, where legend and geology meet
The history of the Black Eagle Gold Mine, a short-lived but intriguing operation that still keeps its secrets
The massive Eagle Mountain Mine, once the pride of Kaiser Steel

Along the way, you’ll hear stories of prospectors, mining booms and busts, and grand industrial dreams, all gradually reclaimed by the desert. Black Eagle Mine Road is no casual drive — it demands skill, preparation, and respect for the land.

If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to chase gold in the harsh desert frontier, or if you’re curious about the hidden corners of Joshua Tree, this journey will reveal a side of the park few ever see.
