The Glory Hole

One of the best adventures yet for the Happy Trails Club. We made it to the Glory Hole, a gaping hole at the top of a mountain, riddled with mining shafts. It was reminiscent of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, pastel colors of the Glory Hole Walls were beautiful. Battery ran out on my camera........dang it!!
Anyway, the hole had a partial fence around it for safety reasons, sheer drop offs into the seriously deep hole. There was a gradual primitive road to the bottom of the hole, we hiked partway down. We did some investigation of the beautiful mineral display. there was so much to see we had a hard time tearing ourselves away. The guys were evaluating the numerous bullet casings all over the place, must have been war up there.
There was also an old truck with wonderful graffiti on it. So much to take in!
