I thought these might be mining tunnels, but I can't find anything about them on the internet. I'll keep looking and will update this description if I find an answer.

The Pictures can't capture the effect

The area around the tunnels is just plain awesome. It seems to inspire all. We saw some religious service with a young girl standing high up on a ledge in prayer and a young kid climbing upward so high as to scare me. The scenery's majesty cannot be captured with a camera.

Thanx for your site and allowing me to post.
