Thursday, June 17, 2010, MINNIE GULCH

Second trip for today is the Minnie Gulch Trail.  It is about 10 miles roundtrip and takes a couple of hours.  It climbs to an elevation of 11,800 feet and ends at the Kittimac Mine.  Also along this trail are some remains of the Caledonia and Esmerelda Mines; aslo relics of the tramway which was nearly 2 miles long and descended 2,000 feet between mine and mill.



Moon in the sky:

We saw a LOT of Marmots today and they were very curious.
They would crawl under the car and climb into the wheel wells and eat the mud??



Watching Charles & friend thru our side-mirror:


Finally to the mine!
