And this is a crappy picture of the Oquirrh Mts. that you can't see. the Kennecott Copper Mine is there. Which you also can't see. It is the world's largest open pit copper mine. My DH's father worked there on the big trucks as a mechanic. Back in the day, you were allowed to take home gemstones and metals you found. I have a large piece of iron pyrite(fool's gold) and a good sized chunk of raw silver that his father found.
