Explore One of Nevada’s Richest Gold Mines!
Experience the Wild West by exploring the Eldorado Canyon Gold Mine with Pink Jeep Tours. Witness the oldest and richest gold mine in Southern Nevada, including original buildings, equipment, and artifacts. The guided tour includes the ghost town of Eldorado Canyon and the Techatticup Mine, where you’ll walk through tunnels and shafts that were dug by hand over 150 years ago. Hear stories of the hardships, dangers, and conflicts that miners faced every day.
Your tour guide will provide you with a fascinating history of this once-thriving mine located in a remote desert area. You can also expect to see unique features of the desert landscape and an abundance of desert plants, including the Teddy Bear Cholla. Although they may appear soft and huggable, these teddy bears will actually prick you with their sharp spines!
After a brief drive, you will discover interesting geological formations before arriving at Nelson’s Landing, which offers a beautiful view of the Colorado River. For 40 years, the primary way to reach the mine was by steamboat up the river to this spot. This area is perfect for a photo opportunity, so make sure to have your camera ready!
