Join a Park Ranger or volunteer guides for a hike out to the El Paso Tin Mines, the remains of a mining operation from the early 1900s.

This is a moderate to difficult hike of 6 miles. The trail is a well-marked old jeep road with a gentle but steady climb for about 3 miles until you arrive at the mines. You can explore two of the old shafts and the ruins of the smelter before heading back the way you came.

Bring water, snacks, hiking boots/shoes, snacks, and comfortable clothes.

We will meet at the Chuck Heinrich Memorial Park.

Fee: $5.00 per adult 13 years of age and older, free for Texas State Park Pass holders and under 12 years old.

Reservations are required; to reserve your spot, call the office at (915) 444-9121.
