This place is accessible by car if you don't mind driving over very bumpy roads for about an hour. I took an AWD with about 6.22 inch of ground clearance and was able to climb up the first few steep unpaved inclines. Not sure how much the AWD helped but I kept in the first care and worked the dips and holes carefully. With any 2WD car, just park near the end of the unpaved road and hike a [very] short distance up. The mine itself is fences up but the surrounding structures are easily accessible. While I stopped to take photos, there were groups of people enjoying their dirt-bikes and all-terrain vehicles. I am planning to return to explore the area more fully.
