Over time, Quincy Mining Company evolved from a failing mine to an industrial giant. As mining ceased in 1945, many buildings and equipment have since been lost to time. Explore how Quincy's landscape has survived, giving us a glimpse into the copper mining boom of the late 1800s. Do not enter ruins. Closed toed shoes, water and sunscreen are recommended. Be aware of loose footing and tripping hazards. Artifact collection is prohibited. The #2 shafthouse will be used as a landmark for this hike.
