Colorado Mine Tour
Wow what a great trip! anne was so amazing and friendly! We hope to go on another trip soon!
A fascinating trip back into the past of the Gold rush in the Colorado Rockies
Loved this 5.5 hour afternoon tour. Christin was friendly, knowledgeable and provided us with photo memories of our trip at no extra cost. The minibus was clean , comfortable and air conditioned. Tour group was 6 which meant our guide was able to give a personal touch and allowed us the space to able to ask questions. The scenery on the journey was stunning and tour stops were well chosen and fascinating insights into the history of hard rock mining in the mountains. Highlight for me was the underground mine tour, panning for gold and seeing the mines resident chipmunks ! I’d definitely recommend this tour.
