comments on the mine The full tour gives you a ride on the cog driven rail car down the hill to the mine entrance, and then a dark and bumpy ride about .5miles into the mine. There are a few things to see in the mine like the drills and the mining slopes. You then ride back up the cog rail to the hoist room where you will get a tour of the hoist and the large Nordberg hoist. I would defiantly recommend you stop and see it if you are within 100 miles or so. |
