Eldorado Canyon AM Explorer Tour

Enjoy the Wild West from the vantage point of an old-fashioned Tractor"Train"(wagon pulled tractor). Our sightseeing excursion into the past of the historical Eldorado Canyon is unique and takes passengers on their own private journey.

You’ll enjoy an off-roading trip up and around trails that were meant for big horn sheep and mule driven ore wagons. Big open sky,the Colorado river and 3 dimensional views of the mountain ranges leading to the Grand Canyon are an awesome site to take in from the top of our trail head.

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 hundred 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 BBQ Lunch (Spring/Summer Meal is 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 kit fox and a variety of desert wildlife, so look closely as not to miss the creatures that blend into the natural landscape of the desert.

ADDED FEATURE: Enjoy a ride in our new, 6 Passenger Ranger that will take you to the best viewing spot in the canyon! Great for Families.
