Visitors can also try their hand at gold panning in the mine's stream, which still provides some of the precious metals that the original miners sought. The mine has a gift shop and a cafe that serves breakfast on summer weekends. The mine is also home to the Gold Mountain Via Ferrata, a guided climbing route with breathtaking views of the San Juan Mountains
