The York Fire started on July 28th, 2023, and burned over 93,000 acres in the Mojave National Preserve and into Nevada. We visited this area in November of 2022 and made this video. It is one of the most beautiful canyons in the Preserve, and it's also one of the last strongholds for desert oaks. The canyon was reported to have been decimated by the wildfire.
After driving a tough road up to the mine, we found an old Allis-Chalmers bulldozer probably from the 1940's, a Dodge WWII 4×4 ambulance that was converted into a pickup style truck, a couple cabins and a beautiful trestle with ore bin. After exploring around the mine site, we visited another nearby mine and checked out the underground workings there. It was a large adit with some colorful minerals.
The Sagamore Mine and Tin Camp area were also reported to have been involved in the York Fire. Here is a link to a video we made of that area.
