The two mile hike to the Calcite Mine is more scenic than many might imagine. There are balanced rocks, wind caves, and other spectacular erosional features. The hike is all made on a dirt road, with only one way to go. It begins off S-22, the Salton Sea Highway, several miles east of the town of Borrego Springs, CA.
