Description
BLACK DIAMOND MINES REGIONAL PRESERVE - Join staff for an exploration of the underground here at Black Diamond Mines. In the late 19th century, people from around the world arrived here in search of a new life and new opportunities. Deep beneath the surface was a rock that would power the young state of California. Discover the toils, triumphs, and tragedies embedded in these hills as we explore a replica coal mine.
Must be 7+ years old to attend the mine tour. Hard hats will be provided. Please be prepared for hot temperatures outside, and cool temperatures underground.
Mine tours are free and will be offered on a regular basis throughout the day. No advanced registration; tours will be booked in person on a first come, first served basis. Tour maximum is 15 people. No waitlists.
Activities will continue outside for those unable to join us underground.
Park in the upper parking lot, which is 1 mile past the kiosk.
