Your gold rush adventure begins as we travel in comfort to historic Nelson Nevada. You will pass petrified sand dunes, extinct volcanoes and colorful geological formations in the most powerful, safest off road vehicle ever built ... HUMMER!
In the 1850's explorers found gold nuggets in the sands of Eldorado Canyon. The Rush was on! Miners and gunfighters flocked to this lawless place and created the town of Nelson. Today, Nelson is a ghost town visited mostly by adventure seekers and world famous Hollywood producers.
At the old Savage Mine your experienced guides will explain the interesting history as you enter deep caverns where determined miners once risked their lives for millions of dollars of the precious yellow metal long before there was a Las Vegas.
Then the excitement continues as the powerful Hummer travels deep into the desert on old mining trails not accessible by ordinary vehicles. After a stunning view of the famous Colorado River, your guide will share secrets of the early prospectors and even give you a few minutes to do some serious treasure hunting. You may even get lucky, and of course, you may keep what you find. (Children must be at least 2 years of age in order to go on the tour.)
