Park City Historical Society and Museum

Historical society members enjoyed hikes during the summer, all led by Research Historian Hal Compton. Below are pictures from each of the three hikes: the Silver King Mine in July, the California Comstock Mill in Thaynes Canyon in August and along the crescent tramway grade to the Silver King Consolidated Mine in September.
