Trail Overview
This is a short trip to go inside an old gold-copper mine with several levels. There is not much left on the outside of the mine. The main entrance is just behind the Jeep in this photo. Tailings above the opening indicate the upper level of the mine. Alice mine is located in a canyon of the Riverside Mountains. The roads are generally easy with only one slightly difficult area close to the mine. Most of the trail is over a flat desert that surrounds the mountains.
