I've been wanting to explore the Lida Mountain Mine on my last two solo trips in Nevada. So this time I finally did it. The Lida Mountain Mine is a complex, multi-level mine with thousands of feet of workings. Some recent research revealed the fact that a mining company has submitted paperwork to Nevada to start an open-pit mine at the site sometime in the next year or so. This means the entire mountain will be dug out over the course of several years which will result in the obliteration of the mine's many tunnels and levels.
