I haven't visited in years but back when they had a visitor's center you could drive up to, it was a pretty amazing place to see.

And useless trivia for the day: The owner of that mine, Rio Tinto, also owns the old 60's TV western series "Death Valley Days." When Rio Tinto bought out US Borax (the "20 mule team" stuff), the TV show was part of the deal.

So you'll see the Rio Tinto name on the credits now if you happen to tune into the show on some cable feed.
