    I shot the photo of the metal corrugated bunkhouse/kitchen at the Morning Glory Mine. Nearby are the rail bed from the mine, the mine opening, and a tram cable leading down canyon. It is an all day, round trip hike up to the mine and back, from the cabins at the Old Dependable Mining Camp at the roads end, by the spring in South Trail Cyn.
