This post is just to show mountaintop removal coal mining in relation to Ivy Knob on Bolt Mountain. Ivy Knob is the highest point in the Guyandotte Mountain Range at just over 3,200 feet.

For a closer look at the surface mine you can check out this view and this one.

Over the next week or so I’m going to be putting together some posts with photos that were recently sent to me of Bolt Mountain.

I am happy for the contribution to the site especially since I’ve been out of town working or on the injured list nearly the whole winter. I haven’t had much of a chance to do any photo taking on the mountain.

At any rate - Thanks Jeremy!
