Mine Exploration and Hiking With Tom and Julie
After a Jeep ride across Death Valley we head up Warm Spring Canyon looking for abandoned mines. We find some large talc mines where we explore the underground workings. We took a quick look at the old Grantham mining camp then headed over to the Gold Hill Mill. At the mill we find a diesel engine, jaw crusher, arrastra, ball mill, ore bin and other pieces of equipment. From there we hike up the mountain where we had spotted a couple waste rock piles and some aerial tram towers. We find three drifts that we explore to finish off our day. We hope you enjoy the video.
