The colorful
history of the Old West comes to life in Eldorado
Canyon, home to the famed Techatticup mine.
On the short journey to this rustic site, you’ll
enjoy spectacular scenery: fields of teddy
bear cholla, rare geologic formations, and
an excellent photo opportunity down near the
banks of Lake Mojave, the blue jewel of this
isolated desert terrain.
On your professionally guided tour of the
mine you’ll envision the back-breaking
work done by prospectors over a century ago
as they chased gold veins deep into this rugged
mountainside, and hear tales of yesteryear’s
gunfights and lawlessness that were the rule
in this frontier territory.
