Trail to the Mine815 viewsThis trail takes you up 1.4 miles and 1,500 feet to the top of the tramway, where the actual mine is located. We had originally intended to climb it, but decided to get the hell out of there before the dust blew up the hill and engulfed us.

The Hat Pavilion812 viewsI got one with a neck protector and a chin tie to keep from losing it in high winds. I found out I really needed it the next day.

Phlaming Physicians and Sulfurous Surgeons811 viewsNot sure what message the SNRG medical folks were trying to convey with the torch, but it did attract attention, in addition to putting badly needed greenhouse gases into the air.

Truckers810 viewsThe end of the parade allowed normal traffic to resume, and these guys are the normal traffic. They had to wait a long time and probably weren't happy.

An Easy Hike809 viewsAs far as I went, the trail was mostly level and relatively smooth. I think it got harder up ahead, but I didn't get that far.

Hell's Gate809 viewsThis is where the Beatty Cutoff branches off the Daylight Pass Road to head toward Highway 190 and Furnace Creek. It also took us to the turnoff to Keane Wonder Mine. It really was the gate to Hell on this day, given the conditions on the Valley floor.
