Worth the day trip if you have an interest in seeing how coal miners worked and lived. You get to peer into the actual entrance of Blue Heron Mine #18. Then, make sure you stick around for Ranger Doug's informative presentation which gives you a real feel for the mining life. You will leave there enlightened! We purchased rail tickets only, not the lunch combo. You can pack a lunch, as small coolers are permitted.

My 4 year old enjoyed the train ride so much. It was nice being able to go to the Blue Heron mine where my grandparents's and great grandparents worked.
