What remains
No structures remain at this site. The dump and the caved portal are the first things you
see. Closer examination will show two lengths of rail protruding from below the rocks and dirt covering the portal, the bare
frame of an old automobile. and the carcass of an old steam compressor.
Not
much as far as artifacts or relics go, but at the end of this long and strenuous hike, what it lacks in relics, it makes up
for in view. It is spectacular!
