The site of the historic Jumbo Mine is littered with artifacts and dilapidated buildings. Exploration of the site is permitted, but the unstable buildings do pose a safety risk—as do undiscovered mining-era explosives that could potentially still be in the area. The NPS advises using caution if you leave the trail to look more closely at the mine site.
