    Grantsville area mines

    Hit up the grantsville area a couple years back. Nothing to exciting but a neat tram or power line system and some funny spray paint sayings at dead ends.

      Kiel - These mines are near Grantsville and are open? I would love to check them out. You have the approximate location?

          There are other open mines up that way as well. The Lead Queen is open, though it's a fun and steep hike. Also, the Monte Carlo is open, and the drive up to it is fun.

            Is the Monte Carlo worth visiting? I've heard it mentioned but no details.

                The Monte Carlo isn't anything that special. The mine goes in less than 500'. The trail heading up is fun though. I did it on an ATV. I don't remember if a jeep could do it or not.
