The Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve is a 6,000 acre park located in Antioch, California, which is 50 miles east of San Francisco. The park is under the administration of the East Bay Regional Park District since 1973, and the area contains relics of mining towns that mined coal and silica sand. During the 19th century, Black Diamond Mines consists of mining towns of Nortonville, Somersville, Stewartville, West Hartley, and Judsonville. The main purpose of the mines was for the abundance of coal underground that were used to power railroads, ships, and heavy industry throughout California. In the 1920's, high-quality silica sandstone were mined to make glass. Today, the mines have been turned into a tourist attraction and a museum with the main visitor's center, a 950 foot long section entrance corridor called the Greathouse portal. Hiking trails surround the mines that stretches to Contra Loma Regional Park to the east and Mount Diablo to the south. The Rose Hill Cemetery is located on a hillside north of the mines. It is the final resting place to over 200 residents between the Somersville and Nortonville townsites and is officially designated as a Protestant cemetery. The world-known Ansel Adams photographed two Italian Cypress trees in the cemetery in 1960 and called the image "Poplars, Cemetery near Mount Diablo". ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro to Black Diamond Mines, Antioch, CA United States 00:20 - Somersville Road 00:38 - Black Diamond Mines Parking 01:41 - Nortonville Road Trail 06:31 - Greathouse Visitors Center 10:43 - Chapparal Loop Trail 13:24 - Hazel Atlas Portal 17:51 - Chapparal Loop Trail 18:56 - Greathouse Visitors Center 21:54 - Nortonville Road Trail 25:59 - Rose Hill Cemetery Please remember to subscribe to our channel, Like the video and hit the notification bell to help us provide you more exploration-to-go content.
