The old silver mine is a great short detour along the Colorado Trail. There are two buildings still standing and also a pretty slanted outhouse. A marmot has moved into the main building and there is a nice flat spot to pitch a tent. Enjoy the view of the mountains and Durango!

Muldoon Mine is famous for having mined lots of silver when the mine was operational. There are remnants of buildings and materials left over from the mining days in this area on the slopes of Cumberland Mountain.
