We had been rained out of our proposed hike and dropped by when we were driving past. Will was an amazing tour guide and even gave us some local recommendations for dinner. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and we learned a lot about the tunnel and the mill. I’d highly recommend the tour (it’s not a mine; it’s the mill and the tunnel!) to learn some history on the gold mining in the area.

Went on the tour with our granddaughter. Will was a very informative and entertaining tour guide. Look forward to returning on each vacation. Tour was about an hour long. Afterwards you get to pan for gold. Will was great helping our granddaughter with that.

Our family went and we had an amazing time! Will, our trip advisor, made our trip even better! He was hilarious and kind!
