- Description
Copper globe is a perfect family day is the desert. The route is challenging enough that you won’t get bored making the trip, and secure enough that mom won’t be worried about the kids. The terrain itself is worth it, but there are lots of other discoveries to make the trip one for the memory books. Along the it is not uncommon to see antelope and you might see Rocky Mountain Sheep, I have seen evidence of wild burros below I 70 as well. If you see them, get you pictures from the machine as they don’t know what to make of a machine. As soon as you get off, they sense a predator and off they will go.
Plan to take time at the Copper Globe Mine. There are lots of old artifacts around the mine and a good learning moment for young and old alike. Pack lots of water! (twice what you think you will need) and ample sunscreen. Brimmed hats are good as well (there is very little shade out there.
