Exploring the Big Horn Mine

The mine is now closed... but before it was...  We spent over 8 hours exploring the inside... it is HUGE...

Here is a history of the mine: http://www.wrightwoodcalif.com/WrightwoodHistorical/WrightwoodRoots/a06bighorn.pdf




 This is the view looking down what is the East Fork of the San Gabriel River.
Rainwater and snowmelt from here flows roughly 75 miles to Seal Beach at the end of the 605 freeway.

  1. Wow--you were lucky to get in there before they sealed it up--looks really interesting. Hope you post more adventures on this blog--night hiking is a great idea!
