Perry Mack Photo
of authentic mining equipment demonstrated by actual miners from the original Sullivan mine. Ten just a short jaunt over to the Sullivan Mine Powerhouse for a guided tour of the massive compressors and generators that were used to power equipment in the mine. Take time for a guided tour of the Orpheum Teatre, North Star School House and Miner’s Cabin to get more immersed in the life of the miners and their families at the turn of the century. If you’ve already visited the mine tour don’t get off
the train and keep riding up to Kimberley Alpine Resort. Here you can get off the train and hike or bike down through the alpine trails or ride the train back down through the tunnel and join the rest of your group. Returning to Kimberley, you’ll now have time to enjoy the Platzl. Tis pedestrian only outdoor shopping mall is filled with quaint shops and restaurants serving authentic Bavarian food. Growing up in a German household my mouth was watering with the aroma’s of the kitchens of my youth, hot schnitzel served a half dozen ways at the Gasthaus am Platzl and the Bavarian sausages served on a bed of sauerkraut at Chef Bernard’s. If you didn’t have the privilege of growing up German Canadian you have to close your eyes and order the home smoked hickory pork on a bed of sauerkraut with spaetzle (German dumplings/ noodles). It will take you directly to Germany without the airfare and jet lag. Tere are over thirty restaurants and
coffee houses so leave room for coffee and a dessert as you continue to wander the Platzl. Tere’s oſten live music playing on the outdoor stage
and from the wandering accordionist. Do you hear yodelling? Yes, you do. It’s Adi the Yodelling Woodcarver. At one point during the day you’ll hear and see the largest free standing Cuckoo Clock in North America so make sure your camera is ready for this unique photo opportunity. If you time your visit right there festivals and
celebrations all summer long including vaudeville shows, theatre, concerts, art exhibits and the Sunday Village Market held in the Platzl between 10am and 2pm. Te Kimberley Riverside Campground is just 8
minutes south of Kimberley with 140 large sites including 46 pull throughs. Aside from the village of Kimberley and it’s allure, the area boasts golf courses, river raſting and endless trails and nature paths for hiking, biking and sightseeing. Add a stop in Kimberley to your travel plans, you’ll be so glad you did!
