We love taking Jade on exciting learning trips and we heard that admission was free to Kennecott Copper Mine so off we went! That is one big hole in the ground!
This is a tire from the big trucks that haul all the ore out of the pit.
A view down into the pit
These trucks seriously look like micro machines from where we were standing!
Jade checking out the gigantic rubber tire!
This is an aerial view of what the whole mine looks like, apparently you can see it from space!
I used to teach 4th grade and so I thought Jade would like to know all about the rocks!
Little young still to be a driller! Look at the size of this drill bit!
