From this spot just past the true summit of West Mountain is a viewing area down into the impressive Bingham Canyon Open Pit Copper Mine. Regardless about how you might feel about mining, this spot really gives you a sense of the impressive scale of these huge mining operations. The Bingham Canyon mine is actually one of the largest and most efficient mines in the entire world! It accounts for more than 16% of total U.S. copper.
