Used with permission Tower Location: Tower Information (10-05) Area Information: Hedley is the site of the Hedley Mascot Nickel Plate Gold Mine (circa 1898 - 1955). The ruins in the pictures date from the mid-1930's. Pictures were taken from a pulloff on the highway in front of the ruins. Hedley's Mascot Mine reopened this year but this time it will be mining tourism instead of gold. Tours are expected to take a total of three hours, which includes travel time to and from the site and tour buses are planned to take tourists up Nickle Plate Road hourly. Over 500 steps lead visitors down the mountainside and through the 80 year-old buildings that made up the original mine site. Interpretive signage and well-informed guides explain details of each building and landmark.
