Your guides will lead you through Cholla
Forests side canyons teeming with desert wildlife such as red-tail hawks, lizards, desert tortoise,
and jackrabbits. Spring rains produce frequent encounters with waterfalls and streams.
The summer heat brings with it Desert Bighorn sheep, thirsty for the waters of the nearby
Colorado River. Since the Yuman and Mohave tribes inhabited the area there is petroglyph
proof scattered as art on the rocks and grinding stones found in the knobby hills.
Also, old mine shafts plaster the landscape with one of the biggest mining booms in state history
occurring in the El Dorado Canyon around 1859.
When you ride into the valley and toward the mining town of Nelson you will see the remnants
of old buildings and the Techatticup mine 
that is supposedly haunted.
Nevada is dotted with many ghost towns, but where else can you find a ghost MINE?
Formerly known as the Savage Mine, photographers claim they have often capture pictures of
spirits or ghosts. The mine itself has been restored and preserved over the last decade
along with a number of buildings at the mine site.
Across from the mine is the historic 1861 building which serves as a museum to the area and to
the Techatticup Mine. Here you can browse through a display of old photographs, tools and other
mining memorabilia.
This adventure is perfect for beginners and advanced alike. You'll be exploring Eldorado Canyon for about 2.5 hours on your ATV, combined with a guided tour of the Techatticup Gold Mine in Nelson. Your guide is a local expert knowledgeable in desert ecology, flora and wildlife and certified in CPR/First Aid.
