Kevin and I cruised out to 5 miles pass on Pioneer Day (7/24/14)

We started just West of the 5 Miles Pass OHV parking lot

Collapsed mine entrance


We went all the way out to the Kennecott exploration area with there man made lake up in the mountain (at least to their fence)
then we rode down until we hit Wayne's World.



We then rode up Constrictor (which was a bit of a chore on a bike).



And over to the tailings pile were we poked around the rebar covered mine shafts and made a little hip jump out of the top of the tailings pile










KMZ file (about 3/8's of the ride). We probably did close to 30-35 miles (Kev was almost out of gas by the time we got done).

that's the violet ray mine, with the collapsed entrance. 3 Years ago after the snow melted a hole opened up next to the entrance and I squeezed in. It was a pretty decent mine with probably 500 feet of workings
