Ghost town of Helena, abandoned mines



Helena is an old mining town near Weaverville, off Highway 299 in Northern California. There are only a few buildings and chimneys still standing. These photos were taken in 2007. Since then a wildfire passed through and these structures may now be gone as well.
There were also some abandoned mine shafts nearby. Some filled with water, some had very precarious supports that looked like they could crumble at any time.
