Mount up with us and take a ride back through time to the place that,
for decades, had a sordid history of notorious claim jumping, feuds
and shootings during the wild days of it?s past. 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. This
natural spring attracts big horn sheep, the

blend into the natural landscape of the
desert.
