Directions to the Reward Mine Difficulty Rating 1+

From San Diego take 395 north about 310 miles to Lone Pine.  Continu e on 395 another 12-14 miles to the entrance to Manzinar National Historic Site.  Approximately 1/8 mile north of the Manzinar entrance on the east side of 395 will be the Manzinar/Reward Road.  Go east to the base of the Inyo Mountains.  Ahead will be the ruins of the Brown Betty Mine.  Go left at the Brown Betty and follow the rough road to the north.  It will end at the entrance of the Reward Mine @ N36 45.096 W118 03.017.  You can drive your vehicle into the mine for about 1/4 mile or more and can walk farther.  There are large rooms inside the mine where you can turn your vehicle around.  Be careful for metal debris on the floor to avoid tire damage.  This is a nice place to visit on a HOT day as it is nice and COOL inside the mine.
