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.
After your Mine Tour, a short drive takes us to the Colorado River where the Steamboats of yesteryear were loaded with ore and precious minerals from the Eldorado Mines. The views on the river can’t be described, as you leisurely paddle your way around this historic area. Keep an eye out for Desert Wildlife: Kit Fox, Big Horn Sheep, and many species of birds call this area home. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the shore as you gaze out over the cool, refreshing water.
This tour offers the best of both worlds: Historical and Entertaining tour through the Techatticup Gold Mine; and a calming paddle through the refreshing waters of the Colorado River.
