Overview
Out in Death Valley National Park, the 110-year-old Keane Wonder Mine sits silently at the base of the Funeral Mountains. Here, miners struck it rich with a $1 million mine, but when the gold played out, the miners walked away leaving their mess behind. Today, this historical site provides a glimpse into the lives of men and women who made this place home and work.
Presented here are photos of the structures at the top of the mile-long tramway. These structures include an ore hopper and the top of the tram, the end of the ore cart tracks, and a junk pile.
