For those of you who don't know, over on the Eastern Sierra, a few miles North of Mt. Whitney there is a small area known as Reward, which is home to the Reward Mine, which you can drive about 1/4 mile deep into. The mine opened in 1860 and produced gold, copper, lead, and silver up until it closed around the 1980's. It's apparently still privately mined from time to time, hence why it's open.
There are areas you can walk into to explore further, and a few you can driver further into, but beyond the 1/4 mile mark you'll have to back up however far you go in as there aren't spaces to turn around.
If you are lifted and have things like roof racks and LED bars, you risk hitting the top.
