Kennecott Copper Mine Visitor's Center

On Saturday our family headed to the Kennecott Copper Visitor's Center.


Haulage truck tire and our family thanks to the help of a Japanese tourist.
To understand how GIANT these trucks are, here is a picture showing a truck parked next to some port-a-potties- they don't even come to the top of the tires!!
Looking at the mine.
Getting a closer look In the Visitor's Center- looking at different rocks, metals, and minerals.
A favorite activity for my kids- pushing buttons!!
The haulage trucks only look small in the vast expanse of the mine.
