Broadway Cave & Monument Canyon Mine
On February 22, 2023 Kim and I hiked up to Broadway Cave on a windy (and dusty) day. On the return trip we headed up Monument Canyon past the ruins of a miner’s home stopping at the entrance to an abandoned mine. The Monument Canyon leg was largely bushwhacking up a dry draw.
