Abandoned Mine

 Rock Canyon's Abandoned Granite Mine Shaft Adventure

What did you do last night? 
Oh right, I hiked 6 miles round trip to a mine in the middle of the night. 

Hiked one mile in... two miles up a mountain, literally, up the side of the mountain, through deep snow, sketchy rocks, ice, trees, bushes... you name it.

Found this guy in the pitch black mine... think about turning a corner and finding him. Freaky huh?His name is Harold. 

 150 foot tall latter. Dates back to the 1920's


It was purely awesome. Not to mention the view...


The best part though was sliding down the mountain through the snow... epic.

  2. well that makes you the only one who looks at my blog! haha

    But it's this super sketch mine way up in rock canyon.
    It's nearly impossible to find if you don't have someone who has been there before because you have to hike in and then straight up and back towards provo on the edge of the mountain. Super sketch but awesome! you should definitely try and find it, I have no idea how to get there but I'm sure if you asked around you could get to it :)
