8. Opportunity Mine
This walk to the Opportunity Mine starts at the first gate on the north side of NM-152 east of Hillsboro and follows an old mining road to the Opportunity Mine. It then continues to the saddle which separates the Opportunity and Rattlesnake Mines. This description includes a substantial amount of information about both the Opportunity and Rattlesnake Mines because they were often under the same ownership and operation.

10. Warm Springs Wash (South)
A short walk from the top of the hill east of Hillsboro down the wash to the north of NM-152.
