Still haven’t gathered the courage to go back since the last time I was there about 4 years ago. Was there very early and walked by some kind of animal carcass after the private cabin. Was gone on the way back from the mine. Rocked my world.
Oh I am def doin the out and back I am not going to do the whole loop! :/ That is more of my comfort level. I live in Pasadena and I love hiking the SGV Mountains but it has to be no more than moderate for me.
Would be cool to send one of those mapping drones in there to scan the walls and make a 3d map of what is down there! Like titanic but the depth is history of time instead of water. brb, changing careers. :)
I went there today great hike but a word of caution the trail past the mine going along the mountainside is a bit scary due to the narrow trail. Oh yeah make sure you have proper shoes because the first half of the hike is lots of rock/step climbing.
Thanks for doing this one. I frequently hike Mt. Lowe Rd. To Mt. Lowe summit and have always wanted to check out the Dawn mine on my way back down. Since April, I've used your guidance to hike pretty much everything up in the Angeles/ San Gabriels range. Nobody else had the Dawn mine hike description, so now I feel comfortable enough to get it in this week. Thanks Hiking Guy! If you're taking requests, could you hike Iron Mountain sometime? That's been on my "bucket list" but nobody out there has a detailed route video
Ah man, thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏 - glad the guides come in handy... and I have Iron Mountain on the list for when it gets cooler out - it's tough going back down and not one of my faves but worth bagging at least once
Went to try this today only to find out the stupid parking lot was closed and a sign stating the hike was closed grrrrr. What’s a good way to find out if a particular hike is closed?
ugh sorry to hear that - on my guides I have a link to the park up top called "alerts and closures" - click on that link to figure out the status... I generally go through a whole checklist before leaving - park website, caltrans website, twitter feed - I've had a trail closed on me after long drives too many times...
@@Hikingguy that is a good practice to check first. I am good about the weather and daylight hours but need to add checking status to the list. For anyone else looking today, the trail is OPEN and ready for your visit!

Another one of my favorites and excellent historical descriptions. Thank you Cris!
👍👍👍
Great video!
Thank you for your insightful videos as always! Definitely will try this one out, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍👍👍
Im glad i explored the mine before they sealed it. It was cool
I've seen pictures of the inside but never went in, even when it was open. For whatever reason going into the old mines freaks me out a little.
@@Hikingguy i grew up playing D&D with the dice thus the adventure intrigues me. Great video as always
Every mine I encounter that's sealed I unseal it.
Thank you. Let’s hook up and check out some mines!

ok i did the loop today and honestly i hate to say it but i did not like this trail! glad i had the experience but it was a bit too much for me. 😢
I've been in both the upper and lower Dawn mines. I'm sad that they are sealed now.
Yea, a lot of my buddies who loved going in were pretty upset that they were closed too.

Thank you for sharing! Duck lips..😂
ahhh life as an influencer.... 😊
I was so ready to work it! Swing is gone though as of today 05/12/2021 :(

Glad you got to check it out and agreed on your points! It's sketch if you climb around the use trails there.
Are all the mine sealed?
