Governor Basin Road, Virginius Mine My youngest JAYCE - 5 at the time- decided that this ore cart was an old choo choo train, and climbed in for a ride!! Fact is- ore carts are part of a small train used to haul ore and tailing out of the mine!! The old boiler in the back ground is still in pretty good condition for being over 100 years old.. Looking south east

Governor Basin Road The trail climbs 1,488' from the trail head in Yankee Boy Basin to the Virginius Mine. A distance of 1 mile as a bird fly's but 5.8 miles of twisting switch backs, so you get the picture of how fast you gain altitude!

Yankee Boy Basin, Revenue-Virginius Mine This mine is prepping the site in order to reopen operations.Operation officially got underway on Oct. 19, 2011. In its heyday, the mine was a profitable venture, producing more than 14.5 million ounces of silver between 1876 and the late 1940s. It weathered the Silver Panic of 1893 while many other silver mines in the region and across the west failed.

Camp Bird Road A massive portion of this mountain fell off into the canyon. On the south side of Canyon Creek is the Waterhole Slide, an avalanche that frequently closes the road with snow depths of 20 feet or more(More, 2004). The broken vegetation is a reflection of the distructive force of avalanches
