Hiking
The Independence Mine parking area, just on the other side of the road from here, is behind a gate that is closed in the evening. It usually requires a modest fee (it seems to change every few years, but tends to be around $5-$10 per vehicle). If the gate is open you can save some distance by parking here, but otherwise you'll need to walk from the parking lot further down the road.
