Eldorado Canyon Tour Trekker Experience

Las Vegas, United States of America

Travel by Tour Trekker from Las Vegas to the most famous gold mine in Southern Nevada - the Techatticup Mine. Explore the outside, some 500 feet deep into the side of the mountain. On the inside, see deep into the veins where early miners chased their dreams of gold and silver in the Great Gold Rush of the 1800's.

The colorful history of the Old West comes to life in Eldorado Canyon, home to the famed Techatticup mine. On the short journey to this rustic site, you'll enjoy spectacular scenery - fields of teddy bear cholla, rare geologic formations, and an excellent photo opportunity down near the banks of Lake Mojave, the blue jewel of this isolated desert terrain.

On your professionally guided tour of the mine you'll envision the back-breaking work done by prospectors over a century ago as they chased gold veins deep into this rugged mountainside, and hear tales of yesteryear's gunfights and lawlessness that were the rule in this frontier territory. The mine is a constant 55 degrees year round - a great way to escape the summer heat!

Even though there was only my wife & I booked on this trip, it still went ahead. We found our driver & the guide at the mine very friendly and imformative, resulting in a really great day out.

Absolutely first rate! Our guide was wonderful, very informative and charming, His knowledge was amazing, and we loved the ride out to the gold mine and the tour of the mine itself. I hope that more people experience this, and we would definitely use this tour operator again.

Great. Guide was so interesting to listen to. Great driving. Comfy jeep. Only thing we were disappointed with was that there was nothing to buy as a memento of our trip.

The tour was fantastic and added a whole new perspective on the life of miners in the 1800s. Our tour guide was the very best. Very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and fun to be with. We all enjoyed him and the tour.

Whilst in Las Vegas, we went on a Pink Jeep Tour, to an Old Gold Mine, and to Lake Mead. The jeep we travelled in was air conditioned, very clean and comfortable. The tour was informative and interesting. At the Gold mine we were taken through it and saw seams of gold and experienced the cramped conditions and unstable areas where they had to work. You can only marvel at the courage of the miners to venture into such unsafe areas for the gold dust. Some of their equipment was around the store outside the mine and it was very primitive. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone.

We were met at our hotel by a bright pink jeep (not surprising), and driven out to the Eldorado Mine. Our guide was extremely informative about Las Vegas, the flora and fauna – you name it! I went with my mother, who was also very impressed. The vehicle was so clean and we were the only people on the tour, which made for a really nice, stress-free day.
