Good size tailings

I do not know the name to this mine.  There are no names associated with it on any maps that I have so that is why I gave it a generic name.

I found this as I was hiking out to Lackawaxen Lake in Park City.  I saw some odd shaped piles of rock that looked intentional and similar to mine tailings.  After investigating I found mine artifacts and I had just enough battery left on my phone that I could check my mine map to verify if something was here.  After checking, I found that this was indeed a mine.

Entrance is at the center of this photo





The entrance appears to be fully caved and blocked by granite boulders.  If I had to estimate the size of this mine by the tailings alone I would say that there is about 300-400 ft of workings in this mine.  The mine is located in a beautiful area so even though the mine is closed you can still take in the amazing views.

Wood from timbering in the mine or some kind of structure
