The Broken Wheelbarrow Prospect is a lead mine located outside of Bellevue. The mine consists of two tailing piles but little else. It has a good view of the Pioneer Mountains and the surrounding Wood River Valley.

The Mountain View Group mine is a graphite mine located outside of Stanley. This mine was hard to locate. I tried a few times and it seems like the coordinates are incorrect on the USGS site. I did visit an open pit mining area but it was a little away from the marked area. We also walked directly to the marked area and there are old roads but no evidence of a mine. I'm not 100% sure that I actually located this mine. I saw some very large canine prints near this mine. I assume they are wolves.
