About this experience
Over 100 years ago, this area was known as the Wild, Wild West! The miners, of the Techatticup Mine, produced millions of dollars in gold and silver. Both, hard working folk and shady characters roamed the town, often engaging in debaucherous activities. The ghost town, now known as Nelson, buzzed with activity as prospectors sought out their fortunes. Today, this area is one of Nevada's most popular destinations for history buffs and adventure seekers alike. The mine and ghost town are nestled within the beautiful El'Dorado Wilderness, a magnet for photographers and movie producers! Hollywood has filmed many blockbusters there, including "3000 Miles to Graceland"!
As noted, the shore of the Colorado River is minutes away. Here, we'll set up camp! The Jeeps will be equipped with a roof top tent or SUV tent. We pack the Jeeps full of everything you'll need for a funfilled day on the river!
