Lucky S Mine Camp
We first visited this mining camp in 2002, not knowing what we would find there. A mining camp full of cabins was a great surprise. There are more than a half dozen buildings here.
Champion Spark Plug Mine
The Champion Spark Plug Mine is quite a place. High on the western flank of the White Mountains, at around 9,000 feet, miners spent a quarter century extracting a rare mineral called andalusite and hauling every pound of it down to the valley on the backs of mules. There
Up and Down Mine Cabin
Duke's Camp
Endowment Mine
This fairly remote and old silver, lead, and zinc (with some traces of gold and copper) mine is a pretty neat site. The old camp dates from the 1870s and was reworked in the 1920s.
Bob and Ward’s Cabin
Also known as the Salt Basin Cabin, Bob and Ward's cabin is a little wooden cabin in this isolated valley at the northern base of the Avawatz Mountains. The cabin is named for two desert enthusiasts, both now deceased, who maintained it for years.
