COMMENTS:
There are no residents. The hotel has been blown down. The mine entrance is still standing, the cable tower is still in one piece. REMAINS: The mine entrance is still there. The hotel foundation and logs are still there. The cold room is still visible in the rock under a pine (eastside of the hotel). |
| Baker mine was an iron ore mine and at the bottom of the mountain you can find the smelter. They used a cable system to haul out the ore. There is no road. The only way in is by foot. The area is surrounded by cliffs. The hike in is a killer, its steep and rugged country. Submitted by: Ladd Darley |
