Smuggler Mine Tours

Stories of mining come to life with a tour of the Smuggler Mine. One of the most famous and productive of Aspen’s silver mines, the Smuggler produced a world record nugget of nearly pure silver that weighed almost a ton and ultimately had to be broken into three pieces to be hauled out of the mine. The guided tour takes guests into the mine itself and shows firsthand how difficult the hard rock mining of the late 19th century was.
