Vistors touring the site of the Ferris-Haggerty mine as part of the Grand Encampment Museums trek saw one of the few buildings still standing.
About 30 people attended the afternoon trek, and about 40 attended the morning trek, according to guide and GEM President Mark Dunning.
Abandoned ore cars lined up at the site of the Ferris-Haggerty Mine. The mine is off limits to most, but the museum made special arrangements to tour the facility.
Tracks for an ore car head toward an access point to the mine. The coloration of the water is caused by copper.
The long-collapsed remains of the main building at the Ferris Haggerty mine, in the Sierra Madre Range. At one point, the mine boasted the longest aerial tramway in the world.
