Lesser-known Death Valley site
Keane Wonder Mine的点评
点评：Keane Wonder Mine is referenced in the NPS maps and signage at Death Valley but isn’t highlighted for some reason. It’s located off one of the roads to Beatty, 3 miles up a bumpy rock and gravel road. A few hundred yards from the parking lot is the base of a mining tram, with intact cables and towers, other wreckage from the old mine strewn around and warnings from the NPS about the dangers of the unstable structures and mining chemicals. At this point, you can turn around and leave after driving a long way to see not much but without much time or effort.
OR, you can walk up one of the trails. Neither trail is marked and if you go left, it dead ends at an outhouse-type structure used for mining (no signage). One group turned around and went back. I scaled a hill, navigated a steep rocky slope and climbed onto the right-fork trail. Neither were good options.
The right fork trail takes you to the first several aerial tram towers and it’s a nice valley view from there. Here, again, you can turn around and go back.
OR, you can climb to the mine. This is an effort. There is barely a trail. It’s mostly rocks. It’s very steeply uphill in multiple sections. There are no trail signs or mileage markers and it’s unclear for a while if there is an end. But after two miles up a rocky trail and 1,500 feet of elevation, you finally get to the top of the tram, a sizable structure with the motor and pulleys still in place. There are also two mine entrances that you can walk into and look into the shafts (they are covered by grates) as well as spectacular views of the tram and the canyon leading to Death Valley. There is no signage up here, and the trails lead a little farther into the canyon and seem to end. Maybe they go farther?
I am not sure why the NPS doesn’t maintain a trail or have signs. Maybe they want to limit the site to people who really want to see it. This was a serious challenge especially considering I wasn’t entirely sure I was on a trail except that I saw a few other people along the way. I think if you make the drive out here, you should plan to do the whole hike to see the mine and tram and view, but just know what it entails.

翻译：基恩奇迹矿场在死亡谷的 NPS 地图和标牌中被提及，但不知为何并未突出显示。它位于通往比蒂的一条公路旁，沿着颠簸的岩石和碎石路向上走 3 英里。距离停车场几百码的地方是一辆采矿电车的底座，上面有完好的电缆和塔架，旧矿场的其他残骸散落在周围，NPS 警告说不稳定的结构和采矿化学品很危险。此时，您可以开车很长一段路后掉头离开，虽然看不到什么，但不需要花费太多时间和精力。
或者，您可以沿着其中一条小径行走。两条小径都没有标记，如果您向左走，它的尽头是一个用于采矿的户外厕所式结构（没有标牌）。一组人转身回去了。我爬上一座小山，穿过陡峭的岩石斜坡，爬上了右岔路。这两个都不是好选择。
右边的岔路会带你到达前几座空中缆车塔，从那里可以看到美丽的山谷景色。在这里，你可以再次转身返回。
或者，你可以爬到矿井。这需要努力。几乎没有一条小路。大部分都是岩石。多处都是非常陡峭的上坡。没有路标或里程标记，一时还不清楚是否有尽头。但在沿着岩石小径爬了两英里，爬升了 1,500 英尺后，你终于到达了缆车的顶部，这是一个相当大的结构，马达和滑轮仍在原位。还有两个矿井入口，你可以走进去看看竖井（它们被格栅覆盖），以及通往死亡谷的缆车和峡谷的壮丽景色。这里没有路标，小路通向峡谷更远的地方，似乎没有尽头。也许它们会走得更远？
我不知道为什么 NPS 不维护小径或设置标志。也许他们想将景点限制给真正想看的人。这是一个严峻的挑战，尤其是考虑到我并不完全确定自己是否在小径上，只是在途中看到了几个人。我认为如果你开车到这里，你应该计划完成整个徒步旅行，看看矿井、电车和风景，但要知道它需要什么。
