Awesome Adventures

The desert around Las Vegas is filled with mines, ghost towns and ATV trails--and Awesome Adventures brings all three of those things together. Their tours take guests to Eldorado Canyon and the tiny settlement/ghost town of Nelson, Nevada, where they can ride ATVs or Razors through rugged terrain to the Techatticup Gold Mine. Tours of the mine take 45 to 60 minutes and give visitors a look inside the mine, which operated from approximately 1858 until 1945. Guests can expect the entire experience to take six to seven hours. No experience with ATVs is required. Awesome Adventures will pick you up from your hotel and transport you to Eldorado Canyon, about a 45 minute drive.
