Join a Park Ranger or volunteer guides for a hike out to the El Paso Tin Mines, the remails of a mining operation from the early 1900s.
This is a moderate to difficult hike of 6 miles. The trail is a well-marked old jeep road with a gentle but steady climb for about 3 miles until you arrive at the mines. You can explore two of the old shafts and the ruins of the smelter before heading back the way you came.
