Its the rail bed for the ore train at the Las Flores mine at the bottom of the tram that came down the mountain from the mine.

One of the most beautiful dryset rock walls you will ever see.

Lots of great info about the mine at the museum in BoLA. If you have never stopped in there, you gotta. One of the best museums I have ever been in and I'm usually bored by that kind of stuff. Be sure to leave a donation, it is all volunteer operated.

See the Las Flores Railroad elevated ramp shown in the photos above... from space!

Click this link and enlarge the Google window... you can then zoom out (it is at max. zoom in now) or scroll around to follow the railroad or auto road back to Las Flores: Las Flores Railroad, south end
