Historic Rose Hill Cemetery is just uphill from the old mines at Black Diamond, with graves dating back to the 1800's. You can get a good, distant view within a few steps of the parking lot, or if you're ambitious and pack light you may like to hike all the way up to the cemetery. It's a fairly strenuous hike so be prepared. Most of us stay at the lower level.
After you pass through the park entry gate drive all the way up to the parking lot at the top level. There's a restroom and water, not much shade. Admission is usually free on weekdays ($5 on weekends and holidays). I hope to see you there!
