June 22: Kennecott & International Peace Garden

June 22: Eric and I drove out to Kennecott to take a tour. I'd never been but I'd always wanted to go. I was in awe of the size and all the Kennecott is doing to keep the environment clean. None of the pictures can truly depict the immensity of the the trucks or the mine, but here are my faves:

On the way out, this girl was entering for a photo shoot for her quinceañera:
