Abandoned Mountain Road Led Me to a Bizarre Discovery... Never Seen Anything Like This!

Montana's mining boom left behind an incredible amount of history, much of which can still be found scattered throughout the mountains today. In this episode, I explore several historic mining sites throughout Jefferson County, including the towering Corbin Railroad Trestle, an old abandoned ranch, the massive Montana Tunnels open-pit mine, and the remains of a historic smelter near Basin. The highlight of the trip is the Morning Glory Mine, a former gold and silver operation that produced hundreds of thousands of ounces of precious metals. With thousands of feet of underground workings and a history stretching back more than a century, I wanted to see what remained of this once-productive mine. Along the way, I visit several other forgotten mining sites before ending the day camping high in the Montana mountains. #Montana #AbandonedMines #GhostTowns #DaveExplores Website: https://davidlzimmerman-shop.fourthwall.com Consider supporting the channel: One-time donations: https://paypal.me/DaveExploresYT?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/daveexplores Join to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl7a-ulGSxSm7s88uSnPjQw/join Socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daveexploresyt/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daveexploreyt Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570267006466&mibextid=kFxxJD Second Channel https://www.youtube.com/@Daveexplores2
