    Tips

    March 7, 2022

    The abandoned mining structure is a unique destination for a pleasant and relatively easy hike. For a more claustrophobic hiker, the site is wonderful to experience from the outside, as it is a relic of Texas's rich tin mining history of the early 1900s. For those seeking a deeper journey, the entrance of the mine remains accessible, and exploring the inside is allowed. Headlamps and flashlights are recommended for visibility.
