Question Title

The 52-acre addition is adjacent to the E.B. Lyons Interpretive Center presents opportunities, challenges and limitations. Some ideas being
considered are the expansion of interpretive opportunities that would be universally accessible and close to the Center; the ability to experience
dramatic scenery; develop an area for youth group camping and provide additional parking to the Interpretive Center that is badly needed.

The steep topography adds to the scenic beauty, but limits options. For example, like EB Lyons Interpretive Center, this addition can’t be connected
by road to the Mines of Spain. Protection of the archeological, historic and natural resources may also limit what might be done with the land.
