Large enough to see from space, the Kennecott Copper Mine is quite a sight to see up close. When it first comes into sight, it looks like an eroded mountain set randomly between other more lush mountains. When I first saw it, I just wanted to stare and take in all the colours and sights; the browns, reds, oranges, the trucks with beds big enough for my bedroom, etc. When we got to the top (or as close to the top as we could get) we were allowed to either stay outside and take in the views, or go into the building where there are tons of various things to look at. I must say though, that my favourite part of visiting Kennecott Copper Mine was knowing that even though some of the kids claim that they didn’t enjoy it, they were able to see something great and they knew it.
