We took a Tour of the Eldorado Canyon Mine in Nelson Ghost Town , Nevada

The Techatticup Mine is the oldest and richest Gold Mine in Southern Nevada. It ran from 1861 until 1942. Steamboats on the Colorado River was the main way to arrive here for 40 years. This is a hard rock mine tour that takes you in to areas where you will see the quartz veins the gold and silver ran in.

This is a walking tour approximately 1/4 mile long on gravel and only one level. The tour will last approximately 1 hour 10 minutes. Inside the mine is a little breezy and cool, especially in the winter.
