Blacktail Canyon

At the base of the Stronghold is a rocky road that leads to Blacktail Canyon. We have been there once before with Mom and Paul... I know they remember it well! Yesterday, we parked pretty high up in the canyon and then hiked way up to an outcropping of rocks and took in the view. From there we could see a little mine road leading to some sort of shed, so we hiked back down and drove further up to see if we could reach it.
My legs were too tired to hike further so I started walking back down and took a side road and found a hidden entrance to a large hole in the side of the mountain. An old mine with pools of water. We didn't have a flashlight so didn't go any deeper than where the sun lit it through a hole in the rocks above.
Wish the camera could capture the cool dampness and intriguing feeling we had peeking in!

LG!
