The many times I have been in Diamond Fork Canyon, I had never before seen these mines until one time I stopped to take pictures of the river.  I was trying to get some decent pictures, even though it was about 3 pm and the sun was pretty harsh, when I noticed a grated mine entrance and went to check it out. 

The first mine was located on steep terrain, but I quickly realized the miners had carved a narrow path into the side of the rock that had since been overgrown.  The mine was sealed with a typical gate that allows passage for bats.  If you look inside, you will see some mining relics and even some yellow tubing that was probably used to pump fresh air into the mine.

(In the above picture you can see “do not reverse until fan has stop”.  Fans are used in mines to bring in fresh air for the miners and to reduce decay and decomposition from moist environments)

The second mine is located across the river.  You can cross by going down to where the giant logs are conveniently located to let you cross over safely.  The second mine is also gated, and has some of the same characteristics of the first mine.  Not many tailings are at either of these two mines, yet they both show signs of a good-sized mining operation.  You can find some other relics outside the mines too.

I don’t know the names of these mines, or any other historical information.
