Print out THIS coupon and you can get free admission to the Kennecott Utah Copper mine this week July 8-17th.
It's a fun (FREE) family day trip. We went up last year and spend about 2 hours there.
Fun Facts about Kennecott Copper Mine:
- The mine is 2-3/4 miles across at the top and 3/4 of a mile deep. You could stack two Sears Towers (now known as the Willis Building) on top of each other and still not reach the top of the mine.
- Kennecott's Bingham Canyon Mine has produced more copper than any mine in history - about 18.7 million tons.
- The trucks that haul the ore are larger than many houses and weigh more than a jumbo jet. They stand over 23 feet tall and can carry from 255 to 360 tons of rock.
- The truck driver rides about 18 feet above the ground -- nearly two stories high.
- Each tire on these big trucks costs from $18,000 to $26,000 and lasts just 9 months.
