Mining History by Jeep

You may know about the Smuggler Mine, but did you know there are even more silver mines above that? The remnants of several of them can be found beyond the observation deck on Smuggler Mountain, and our new tour, the Smuggler Mt. Open Space Historic Jeep and Trail Tour, will take visitors to these by jeep and on foot. The best part is that the tour is free, but offered on a limited basis (Wednesdays, 9 a.m.) and to six people, so make your reservations early by calling (970)925-3721. It runs June 18-Sept. 3
