Mariscal Mine Trail passes explores an area that was once integral to the quicksilver mining economy in Big Bend in the early to mid-1900s. Nearly a quarter of the mercury mined in the United States came out of this area. These ruins speak to a once-bustling community in the area. The dirt and gravel path is relatively flat and easy to access.
