This fairly remote and old silver, lead and zinc (with some traces of gold and copper) mine is a pretty neat site. The old camp dates from the 1870s and was re-worked in the 1920s.

The mine has four levels (not including the adit level) and a few thousand feet of workings. For how old the mine is, it still looks to be in good shape. The cabin needs repairs though. If you do stay here, follow Backcountry Cabin Etiquette.
