Kaymoor Top Miners Trail
There were two mining towns with the name Kaymoor: Kaymoor Top and Kaymoor Bottom. The mine entrances and supporting buildings were located at Kaymoor Top. After coal was brought out of the mines, it was conveyed down the Gorge to Kaymoor Bottom, where it was loaded onto waiting trains. Today, only ruins are left. Moderate trails lead into both Kaymoor Top and Kaymoor Bottom.
