Hiking in
the mountains of Colorado is always a relaxing way to relieve the
week's
stress. If you have had your fill of panning and would still like
to hang out for a while. Take the trail, up to the Little Albert Mine
and
the Kelly Mine. There is also a more strenuous hike above the Phoenix
mine.
Use of these trails are included in the price of admission to the tours
as well as panning. Ask the attendant or your guide for directions to
the
trails. Please stay on the trails and never enter any old mine shaft.
They
are very dangerous places, unless they have been made safe for folks to
visit. Children may not hike without parents. Though it is rare bears
and
mountains lions may be seen in this area. Other wildlife you may come
across
are: chipmunks, squirrels (ground and black), foxes, raccoons, snakes,
rabbits, porcupines, birds, mice, deer and a few others native to this
area. Please do not approach wildlife or pick wildflower. You are
welcome
to take all the pictures you wish, but leave nature as you found it for
other visitors to enjoy.
