Amazing place! If you go the road way, instead of by boat.. it's a very rocky washed out road. It takes a lot longer than what google says- the dirt road took us 3 hours to get to the mines. If you have a vehicle capable of this drive, it's worth it!

Step back in time and explore the ruins of the Bully Hill copper/zinc/silver/gold mining site. "Bully Hill was one of five major local mines located in the area prior to the construction of Shasta Dam. Others included Mountain Copper, Mammoth, Balaklala and Afterthought. Transportation problems, the presence of zinc in the copper ore, and lawsuits against the mines for sulphur fume damage to vegetation led to their closure."* Mine Info Name: Bully Hill State:  California County: Shasta Elevation: 1,299 Feet (396 Meters) Primary Mineral: Copper Lat, Long: 40.79917, -122.20278 *from U.S. Forest Service sightseeing document

Probably about 30 min...stay alert for the path...sometimes it's hard to stay on it as it seems to disappear in some places due to lack of traffic.
