Bikers on the Mesabi Trail will skirt the south side of the Hull–Rust–Mahoning Open Pit Iron Mine or Hull Rust Mine. It stretches about 8 miles in length, 3.5 miles in width, and reaches depths of up to 600 feet, making it one of the largest open-pit mines on earth. It is hard to fathom that 1.4 billion tons of earth have been removed from here. For the best glimpses of the mine, check out short detours on the trail, taking you to viewpoints and informational panels.
