We drove from Philipsburg to Hamilton over the pass and stopped at Gem Mountain for their opening day for 2020. First time there and found it to be a great experience, a lot of fun and very relaxing. The staff there could not have been friendlier and more helpful. Every bucket is guaranteed to have some sapphires in them and its a lot of fun searching them out. They have staff in the store that will go through your finds and explain what you have and what they are worth. No pressure to spend any extra money getting them cut and heat treated but they do offer the service. All and all a great experience and would highly recommend it if you're driving in the area.

The church is all white. There is a huge cross at the steeple. Sunday Mass is at: 9 A.M. and 11:00 A.M. They have wooden benches. The cross is behind the altar. Lots of light. Worthwhile to see!

This was a neat old ghost town to explore, especially going up to the stamp and being able to wonder around. However, it can be a bit confusing if you're following google maps. If you do not have a 4WD, then make sure you take a right on Granite Rd. You'll see the Granite Ghost Town in very small letters underneath the road sign name. Many of the signs in the town were worn down and hard to read. I wish they all could be re-done.
