Bingham Canyon Copper Mine

Tuesday welcomed a trip to the Bingham Canyon Copper Mine. What a cool place! This is the only Copper Mine in the United States and what a sight it was. The trucks were ginormous and it was neat to see them at work. The boys especially enjoyed posing with the truck tire!

Inside the visitor’s center were interactive displays and examples of items made using the copper from the mine. There was also a video that told about the mining process and how once they have completed mining, the mountain would be restored to its original condition.
