Hiking
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.

Running
The El Paso Tin Mines Trail is pretty easy to follow and gets a lot of attention in the park. The Mines, themselves, are cool structures, and you can actually go caving inside of them if you want. A real flashlight or headlamp works better than a phone light if you decide to go inside.
