👻In the tiny ghost town of Nelson, the air is thick with stories of feuds, claim jumping, devastating floods, vigilante justice, and fortunes both made and lost.💰 Your certified adventure guide will bring the vibrant history of this remote, once-bustling community to life, highlighting the unique features of the surrounding desert landscape.
🪙⛏️Your tour includes a visit to the Techatticup gold mine, widely regarded as one of the oldest, richest, and most storied gold mines in Nevada. Guided by a local expert, you’ll delve into the mine’s fascinating past. Afterwards, stroll through the abandoned streets of Nelson, where you can explore a private collection of vintage cars and memorabilia, all set against the striking backdrop of the canyon. This town is a magnet for photographers, offering incredible photo opportunities, many of which look like they’re straight from a movie set!📽️
As you explore, take note of the diverse desert plants, including the Teddy Bear Cholla. They may look soft and cuddly, but this field of teddy bears has a prickly side you won’t forget!🌵
A short drive from the mine takes you through rugged canyonlands, revealing dramatic rock walls and stone formations. Your next stop is Nelson’s Landing, which offers picturesque views of the Colorado River. Back in the day, the river was the main route to the mine, accessible by steamboat, and during Prohibition, this spot became a hotspot for bootleggers. It’s another fantastic location for snapping memorable photos.🛶
Offbeat, fascinating, and full of Instagram-worthy moments, the Eldorado Ghost Town Adventure tour is an experience you won’t want to miss!📸🤳
We gather our group at 8-8:30am at the specified location. Additional info will be provided.
