History

I have been told the Clint Eastwood film "Pale Rider" was filmed in this Basin. I also believe there was some owner fraud back when it was built as a mine. I believe the story goes an owner built it up to look like a thriving mine and was able to sell it to an unsuspecting buyer. The previous owner than returned to his home Country overseas. Attempts to mine were not successful and the mine eventually failed. Definitely google this information if you want the full history. The mine or parts of the trail is privately owned.
