Home / Mojave Preserve and Desert bikepacking trips / 2009, Spring: Mojave National Preserve / Day 16: Button Mountain to Baker by bicycle via Aiken Mine Road, with a stop at the Lava Tube, Mojave National Preserve /
I walk up the little hill to check out some of Aiken Mine's old equipment
Aiken Mine feels like a ghost town where everyone got up and left the same day, leaving everything behind. It's easy to imagine this place 25 years ago, busy with trucks lined up, ready to take away loads of cinder rock.
