Ophir Historic District, Ophir

This is a cute little place that I never knew existed. A handful of us rode motorcycles there a couple of weeks ago. Most of the locals that we encountered were nice and welcoming. However, there were a couple that were less than thrilled with our presence.

I have to say, I am really surprised how much I enjoyed going to Ophir. So much to see as far as old mining stuff. Love some of the rock faces. Haven't had a chance to yet but I hear it's a great place to hike.

Really fun area to explore. Lots of historical buildings and very uncrowded. Not much in the way of food, so bring your own. There are several old mines in the area. Seems like a good place to bring an ATV too.

Really cool collection of historic buildings. Most have been moved (were not originally located here) and many are restored rather than original, but still very interesting to see the history of this mining town. All the buildings are within easy walking distance. You can find a place to park along the street or up the side road a bit and then walk around. Look for signs tho because parking is not allowed everywhere.

It's exciting to find out the history of some of the smaller forgotten towns in the state. They have done a wonderful job keeping up on the history of their town Ophir.
