William Henry &#8220;Burro&#8221; Schmidt was frail and small of stature, yet he prospected around Kern County and established claims in the El Paso Mountains. In 1900, he began to dig, drill, and blast his way through the interior of the mountain. In 1938, after 38 years of exhaustive mining, daylight was finally visible through the far side of the tunnel. Those with a sense of adventure can still walk through the tunnel, though a flashlight is required, and it&#8217;s important to stay mindful of low spots within.<br \/><br \/>The trail leads out to
