Itinerary

This is truly a unique and adventurous trip that will forever live in your memories by exploring a goldmine, a ghost town, the Hoover Dam with a small group of likeminded travelers (VIP)! Hosted in one of the most lawless Wild West towns in the 1800’s, this trip is for the adventurous Summer lovers seeking new thrills and excitement. Eldorado Canyon is home to Nelson, a historic mining town in the late 1800’s that was truly part of the Wild West. You’ll get to experience the Techatticup Mine, Nevada’s oldest and richest, on an hour long tour where you will see the remains of old world tools and other artifacts. This mine, and several others in the area, is what brought the prospectors to this remote part of the desert. An unforgettable location that was used in 2 motion pictures with many movie props left behind featuring a crashed airplane. The town itself has been rebuilt and renovated to resemble the old mining town of the past. A great location for exploring and photos.


Nelson Ghost Town:
What you will do:
– Sightseeing – Explore the Ghost Town – Learn Historical Facts – Visit famous sights – Take pictures – Build relationships

Description:
During the late 1800’s, Nelson was extremely remote at the time with the nearest law enforcement in Hiko, NV about 200 miles away. This created lawlessness in true Wild West fashion with many prospectors being Civil War deserters with Renegade Indians hiding out in the canyons. After some time, the minors formed factions between Northern and Southern sympathizers which led to more feuding in the canyon, and killings, which at one point was everyday. There was a renegade Indian named “Queho” (pronounced Key-Ho) who was reportedly Nevada’s first serial killer near the area whose last killing was near the Techatticup Mine in 1919. Nelson was rebuilt after 50 years of inactivity with many buildings being restored to resemble the old mining town. Nelson was also used for two motion pictures, both starring Kurt Russell, Breakdown (1997) & 3000 miles to Graceland (2001). Since then, Nelson has been a destination for wedding photography, photo shoots, and a historical stop on the way to the Colorado River.

What you will do:
– Sightseeing – One hour guided Mine Tour – Learn historical facts – Take pictures

Description:
The Techatticup Mine Tour is one-hour and 0.25 miles long on gravel that is only one level. This is the oldest mine, and richest, in Southern nevada from 1861 to 1945, where you will see the quartz veins the gold and silver were mined from. The name “Techatticup” derives from the Paiute Indian word for hungry, a term often heard by early settlers from the starving Indians inhabiting the Dry Hills.



Hoover Dam:
