The silver mining town of Bay Horse ist nestled in a narrow canyon.

Today, the town is on private property and it's not allowed to enter.

From the dirt road, you have a great view of the collapsed buildings.

Six charcoal kilns were built. The operation of a smelter required that large amounts of charcoal be burned to produce the intense heat necessary to melt out the silver and lead.
