Gold Mine Tour
Eldorado Canyon
Enjoy the Wild West from the vantage point of an old-fashioned tractor train (pulled wagon). Our sightseeing
excursion into the past of the historical Eldorado Canyon is unique and takes passengers on their own private journey.
You’ll enjoy an off-roading trip up and around trails that were meant for big horn sheep and mule driven ore wagons.
Big open sky,the Colorado river and 3 dimensional views of the mountain ranges leading to the Grand Canyon are an awesome
site to take in from the top of our trail head.
Step right into the pages of history, with a walking tour of the Techaticcup mine. We will venture deep into this rumored
haunted gold mine and visit 3 different shafts, one of which descends over 900 hundred feet in the earth. Learn how the hardiest of
men labored feverishly looking for gold. Chiseling their way through the mountainside inch by inch, with the most primitive
of tools and working only by candlelight.
Enjoy a ride in our new, 6 passenger Ranger that will take you to the best viewing spot in the canyon! This trip is great for the whole
family.
Check out a unique collection of reptiles and other desert critters including snakes, lizards, spiders
and more; and stop in our rock exhibit featuring amazing rocks from around the world.
