This sightseeing adventure takes you from Las Vegas to what were the richest gold and silver mining districts in Nevada. A population of 500 rowdy miners worked this Ghost Town, many reported to be deserters from the Civil War. Gunfights and feuds over gold and women were a regular way of life in this lawless community. You will see countless mines, remains of buildings and equipment; and of course, incredible scenery and the possibility of sightings of resident wild life such as bighorn sheep and burros. And you have the opportunity for a guided above and below ground mining tour that will take you 500 feet into the mine to see the veins they chased. |
