El Dorado Canyon – it sounds exciting even before you know anything about it! This is way out west in the Old West. It’s a professionally guided tour, a unique insight into the “Old Savage Mine.” This is a remote and half-forgotten area. That’s why you will do the tour on an ATV. It’s a vehicle tailor-made for this terrain.
The tour starts with a complementary pick-up service from your hotel, if it’s centrally located in Las Vegas. The tour is not a nice squeaky clean one. You will get dirty on this tour, so take appropriate clothes. You will be touring mines, dirty old mines with a ton of fascinating history oozing out of every one.
The tour will stop at various points to illustrate and better understand some of the isolated mines. You will be traveling on trails that once had mule wagons on them led by men who worked hard – really hard – to chases the gold dream.
Some of the trails lead to the Colorado river, for the mule wagons took the gold and the ore to steamships anchored there. From there the gold and ore was transported to various towns. The old gold prospectors would have really appreciated an ATV! You could probably exchange one for all the gold you could carry, if you could just go back in time…
After a meal served under the canyon walls you will get the chance to try your hand at panning for gold in a small spring. Will you strike it rich? Maybe… Others certainly did, but that was long ago. best to just content yourself with being on the Raiders of The Lost Mine – El Dorado Canyon ATV Tour – one of the best Las Vegas tours before they take you back to the city.
