Things you may find on a backcountry climb in Arizona

You might find a torquoise mine. All the big juicy specimens have been harvested but you could find rocks with bright trace minerals to take home. A great reminder of the adventure.

You may find inscriptions dating pretty far back from the miners that worked this claim.

If you looked really closely, you could find little creatures. Careful where you step and reach. Some of these creatures could be very dangerous if they get upset while others use camouflage as a form of defense.

If you dare venture into the mines, do so with caution and a good headlamp or two. Listen for creatures that dwell deep within the depths. Play the video below for an example of what you might see or hear. Thanks for reading the blog! Happy New Year!!
