Aiken Mine is situated in the middle of a cinder cone. Between 1948 and 1990, this is where active mining of volcanic rock (cinder) took place. It is especially fascinating since most of the mining equipment like giant conveyor belts, weigh station and truck is still here. Take a stroll and explore this cool area!
