Take this Eldorado Canyon ATV Tour and experience an Off Road Excursion like never before: up and around trails that were originally used by big horn sheep and mule driven ore carts. Although you’re less than an hour from Las Vegas, the Eldorado Canyon area will make you think you traveled back in time to the early 1800’s.
Take in the views from the top of the Trailhead: The Colorado River, Mountain Ranges leading to the Grand Canyon, and Big Open Sky… Eldorado Canyon is home to the Techatticup Gold Mine, once the largest producing Gold Mine in Nevada, and a walking tour of the mine is included in your ATV Tour. You’ll be amazed at the conditions those hardy men endured, as they chiseled their way through the mine and to their fortunes.
Those historic days were almost lawless, as claim jumpers and criminals tried to steal the miner’s hard won minerals. The Miner’s worked hard to protect their claims, their lives and their families.
ATVs are late model, 4 Wheel Drive, Fully Automatic and a blast to operate. After a Safety and Operations Orientation, both beginners and experienced riders will be ready to hit the trail with our professional gides.
We’ll be riding on extreme mountain terrain, surrounded by forests of cholla cactus, with towering, multicolored rock formations as the backdrop for this incredibly scenic tour.
The 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. Relax 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.
