Review:
Mine Peak is a fairly unknown, relatively short 2.4-mile hike in the fabulous Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. With an elevation gain of 750 feet, it is moderately challenging. The trail starts on Dolomite Mine Road, on a flat space that is used as a camping ground. Walk towards the mine ruins and climb above the mine until you find an unmarked informal trail that runs along a ridge heading northeast. This is the most challenging part – you will gain 500 feet in half a mile. It gets much easier once you get to the Coyote Mountains main ridge. Going north for 0.1 of a mile will take you to the best spot for watching sunset vistas. The peak is due east another 0.2 of a mile with an easy walk.
