No Claim To Fame Canyon - Late afternoon

This hike was yesterday Wednesday March 30,2023 starting at 5pm. I did notice fresh footprints bypassing King Midas Canyon and some along the base of the west face as I hiked southeasterly to No Claim To Fame Canyon. BTW, the canyon most likely has no name because it has no particularly standouts except the large mine claim cairns about. 

I did observe a total of four well built and not vandalized claim marker cairns each about 3-4 feet tall that seemed to run a mostly north to south straight line over the lower edges of the small canyons. Two of the trails I stumbled upon head up and down were more than bighorn sheep trails. I'm assuming that miners traversed this area heavily for a short time period. There me something curious, fun, or historical up and over into the canyon further southeast from the saddle where I turned about face? The only artifacts on the hike visible to me were in the alluvial washes out of Keane Wonder and King Midas.
