had a great time with the family. They were so helpful with the older and younger family members and the prices were reasonable. Will go back again. Great day trip to the mountains.

We recently took our Sunday school group which constisted of adults and children to the gold mine. We all enjoyed panning for gold and the wagon ride and the children also loved the gift shop. This is definitely a trip worth taking!

I like to stop from time to time and check out the sluice to see if I have any "picker" pieces of gold. These are... More
