While we were camping we went on the Mackay Mine Hill Tour, which is a self-guided tour you can take on ATV. It took us to the top of a mountain via old mining camps, mining ghost towns and mines. It was so interesting and fun, the kids loved every minute of it. We left first thing in the morning and packed a lunch. We crossed this old trestle bridge that was restored for 4-wheelers to cross it was previously used to take ore across this gorge in the old mining cars.
Here are Saydee and Mason at the top of the mountain, this is were we breaked for lunch and Saydee found a bunch of rocks that looked like they had some fun stuff in them - all gold and glittery!
Both the kids had a lot of fun. Saydee is climbing an old wall of rocks - not sure exactly what it was for but there was a bunch of collapsed wood all around.
This is where all the collapsed wood was and the rock wall. Mason was just enjoying a little snack!
Here is one of the old mines. They have a huge iron gate on the inside so no one can go in. Not that we'd want to but we hear there was something like 20 miles of underground mines all over that mountain. Just amazing!
