Big Horn Mine and Stamp Mill (LA County California)

My wife and I brought our two kids on a hike to visit the Big Horn Mine and Stamp Mill. Here are some pictures from our trip.


Our first glimpse of the stamp mill.

If you look closely at the first picture, you'll see the spot where I did my little stunt. The drop is about eight feet. Due to the very steep slope, the image gives the perspective that i'm hanging from a large cliff.
