Black Diamond Mines

Originally a coal mine and later mined for sand, Black Diamond Mines became a park in the early 1970s. It is almost 5,375 acres and we have had some nice hikes there. I especially like the rock formations (see the enhanced picture below). People have also reported quite a few birds there. I wasn't so lucky when I visited here, but maybe next time.
