Adventure Mining Company

The Adventure Mining Company is a tour of an old copper mine near Greenland, MI.  They have guided tours (real people!) ranging from 45 minutes, to 80 minutes, to a +2 hour rappelling tour.  The guides are knowledgeable, fun, and being in the mine is very cool.  There are no lights underground: instead, they give you a hardhat with a light on it.  Tours cover how the copper formed in the region, the mining methods used, lives of the miners, mining terms, and information about copper.  There are also bats in the mine!  This tour is highly recommended.  Feel free to visit their website for more information in planning your trip:
