Geocache Description:

Once the seat of Grant County, Pinos Altos, survived conflicts with the Apache.  A gold discovery in 1860 by three 49ers from California stimulated a boom that led to the establishment of this mining camp which produced over 8 million dollars of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc before the mines played out in the 20th century.

A quick park and grab in this cool old mining community.
