Exploring 5 Estelle Mine Tunnels

These were iron ore cart tunnels that were built very late 1800's and used until around 1920 for an iron mine. to see one of the iron mines that this tunnel system was bringing ore from check out this video here: https://studio.youtube.com/video/X6VrgjJ0H6Q/edit
these tunnels go straight through the mountains along the estelle mines trail, on pigeon mountain in GA and were pretty much back to back. there is a final tunnel we did not enter because the close side was collapsed. a hike over the mountain would bring you to the open side. there is also one more tunnel that is along the road that takes you to the hiking trail for the tunnels that one is the longest and the video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNHttOPSoeY&t=2s
