Death Valley National Park
Aguereberry (Eureka) Mining Site

Circle around the hill from the Aguereberry Mining Camp, and you'll find the old Cashier Mill, and the mineshafts leading down into the Eureka Mine.

From the top of the hill, you can look out on a surprisingly flat expanse of land that stretches out for miles.

One of the two mine shafts I found here had been closed, but this one was still open.  Looking down into this crumbling, dark hole, I couldn't see the bottom, so I didn't get too close.

Tip:

Ghosttowns.com has much more information on the Eureka Mine and Aguereberry Camp, including a tip I couldn't confirm during my visit.  The website reports that one entrance to the mine is stable enough to allow visitors inside.  It also says the park opens the entrance during the summer months.  But, that information is dated 1998.  If you find this to still be accurate, email me.
