Earth Angel Radon Mine
|
|
| One of six radon health mines in this part of Montana, which apparently are the only active radon health mines in the United States. The Earth Angel, a former gold mine, has the strongest concentration of radon gas, limiting users to 20 visits at a stretch (instead of the usual 30). Halfway down the 600-foot-long tunnel, a fork leads to a narrow, dry chamber, with a few chairs. The main tunnel, paved with concrete, extends further, and has a small stream of water running alongside the walkway. At the end is a chest high dam with a grate on top, opening onto a reservoir - a dark, linear pool of water, plunging deep into the mountain. No decorations at all in this mine. |
