The VPo Man needed some R & R from the Ryan Mt hike, so he dropped me off at the trailhead for Lost Horse Mine.
This made for a relatively easy four mile out and back. The elevation gained was quite minimal (200-300 feet) and the trail was an old dirt road. Another trail that would make for some nice running.
The scenery along this trail was quite fabulous. Plenty of Joshua Trees along the way and some nice views of some of the mountains in the park. After about a half hour, I made it to the gold and silver mine. It operated up until the early 1930s when Joshua Tree became part of the National Park system. It makes for an excellent easy walk in a truly interesting setting.
