VISITING GLACIER PEAK MINES
The mines are closed for visits. Lots of good material was found by lots of people this past season. Hopefully, we can continue to offer opportunities for people to visit. Put your name on our list for when we may have dates for 2012 by e-mailing Krystle. See us at the upcoming shows as well. We appreciate your support.
Our claims are open for visits only by specific prior arrangement. You may be able to arrange a visit for collecting or for education. Please understand, this is not always possible due to my schedule and manpower. Remember, I appreciate your support at gem and mineral shows for keeping the mines accessible for visits.
Special Notes: As of 2011, an additional Forest Service law enforcement officer will be patrolling system roads to enforce road closures and unauthorized ATV usage. You are not allowed to take any motor vehicles beyond signed gates (green gates or posts with signs Active Mining Area; No unauthorized motor vehicles beyond this point; By direction of U. S. Forest Service) onto our claims if I am not present. This is per Forest Service regulations. If I am on site and you wish to visit, or you have written permission, this in not a problem.
