Location Type: Public Access
Details: For the mineral specimen collector, you can find zircon, allanite, biotite mica, apatite, and moonstone here. If this location is still open, it may be closed from June to September because of fire hazard. For more information about collecting here visit this site:

Directions: A map and directions can be found on the website. I'm guessing it may be out of date. Here is the website's directions: "From Solemint Junction, take Highway 14 (Antelope Valley Freeway) 1.9 miles to Sand Canyon Road exit. Turn right and go 10.1 miles to summit of road. Turn left onto dirt road and proceed down into canyon, past Honey Bee and Dutch Louie campgrounds, continuing along bottom of canyon. The road crosses the streambed many, many times (over 50) as it winds back and forth across the canyon floor. Some of these crossings are quite rocky and rough, making crossing somewhat difficult for low slung cars. At 9.8 miles from Sand Canyon Road, bear right at "Y" and continue .2 mile to short spur road on right. Park here and walk up spur road to end, continuing to second ravine. Hike up this ravine to diggings. The biotite mica is in the first ravine at the end of the spur road. "
