Hiking
The trail follows Arrastra Creek up into the mountains from the Animas River. If you bear left on CR 52 you will ascend the gulch to the lakeside ruins of Black Prince mine. If you continue straight along Arrastra Creek you will reach Mayflower Mine, and from there can walk to the abandoned mining town at Silver Lake. This trail is an OHV track and is best hiked later in the summer once the snow has melted.
