What are these massive underground bases? And if they aren't bases then what are they?

A friend of mine was on a flight from NYC to LA and after passing salt lake city he snapped a photo from his airplane window of which I have hi-res of a massive hole in the center of a mountain along with roads leading to it. I used google maps to try and locate the exact place of this object in my friends photograph and came accross these similar looking tunnels going underground.

Any ideas?



Is that just some gigantic mining operation?

That looks like a mine to me. There are a ton around for comparison. Check out Morenci mine in AZ, for example.

That is very strange looking. So strange looking i would say it looks like it's a man made mountain,reminds me of the heat rocks a lizard would sit on.

Also it is not very far from dugway proving grounds. One of about five military bases,that are capable of doing something uknown. I guess i did not say that right,considering most military bases are capable of doing the unkown,unless you have a security clearance to learn that unknown.

What im really saying is,there are about 5 military bases that are capable of doing something huge,dugway is one of them and it's not far from those coordinates.
