Kennecott Copper Mine

Last weekend we visited the largest open pit mine in the world: Kennecott Copper Mine.  It was pretty cool.  I was mainly impressed with the massive size of the dump trucks.  Here is a picture of an actual tire.


This picture gives you an idea of the size of equipment they use.  Notice how small the person is next to the truck:

I didn't know you guys went and did that. That's cool! It's been ages since I've been there.
