A LEISURELY HIKE TO THE VICTORIA MINE RUINS


Today we hiked the 4.5 mile round trip trail from our campground to the ruins of the historic Victoria Silver Mine in the Sonoran Desert. There were lots of interesting cacti to see along the way, and then when we got to the mine, Darell explored the various mine shafts and surrounds, and I concentrated on the building ruins.
A long view of the building ruins
Side view through the two windows
Through the door
Through the far window
From inside the building
Just the outside corner of the building, with the mountains in the distance, and a shiny, ore-filled rock in the foreground
And when we returned home to the Chinook, Scout was waiting for us, looking out onto the desert.
