This tour offers a horseback ride featuring views of the Colorado River, explore gold and silver mines dating back to the 19th century, Miners’, Cowboys and Indians were the primary residents of this lawless land, on this tour you will have the opportunity to visit some of their original homes sites and experience a re-creation of an “Old West Mining Town”.

The ride treks along paths that were originally used for mule driven ore carts that carried precious minerals to the river. We’ll be riding on mountain terrain, surrounded by forests of cholla cactus, with towering, multicolored rock formations as the backdrop for this incredibly scenic tour.

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 drops down to over 900 feet. 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 by candlelight.

The Lunch stop at our Old West Town will take you back in time, featuring foundations from one of the original Mining Camps of the 1800’s. Enjoy a delicious Picnic Lunch under our covered Pavilion, listening to the sound of a natural spring that furnishes precious water to the desert wildlife in the area.
