The old mine site still sits on the mountainside

One of the waterfalls in the narrows...where the Jeep trail is

we had to pull our packs up with ropes

Yes! this is the old jeep trail in

Steve navigates the narrows

Most of the trail looked pretty much like this: hot, rocky, and uphill

View from the front steps of the "Panamint Hilton". You can see the whole valley and the mine. Wonderful!

The old smelter smokestack is the icon of the area

Deb hiking in through the old Jeep route

When you see the brick smelter chimney, you know you have arrived

Hearty hikers enjoy the history

Hiking here was Deb's dream come true

View from the mine. Note the prospector shacks in the background. Some still usable.

Inside the mine. The adit goes back about 2000 feet and is in very stable rock, no cave ins.
