Eldorado Canyon Mine Tours

Visitors put on hard hats and descend into the tunnels of the historic Techatticup Mine to learn what life was like for miners during the gold rush. Guided tours explore the subterranean passages where legend says the ghosts of fallen prospectors still wander. Above ground, guests can wander through restored Wild West buildings, visit antique shops, and explore a store museum filled with historical artifacts.
