Gold Rush - Guided Hiking & Gold Panning Tour

Overview

The historic and scenic Bradshaw Mountains are one of the richest gold-filled mountain ranges in the entire country, creating the perfect setting for our Gold Rush Hiking and Gold Panning Tour. Our tours create a scenic and educational journey amidst some of the most rugged landscapes Arizona has to offer, with opportunities to see giant saguaro cacti and abundant desert wildlife. You will be accompanied by a guide with vast knowledge of the local mining history and plant and animal life. The tour will begin with a scenic, moderately difficult hike from our property down to the Agua Fria River. The hike offers incredible views and plenty of opportunities for photos. Once at the river, we will spend some time panning for gold and learning about the history of gold mining here in the Bradshaw Mountains. You are welcome to keep your findings! We will then finish the tour out by making the hike back up the Agua Fria River canyon.

Wonderful experience, Riley was awsome he was so nice and informative absolutely beautiful views. We were so impressed by him and his interaction with us and his coworkers that we decided to book a utv tour for the following day. When we got back to the resort we told everyone how wonderful this place is.

The hike was great fun! Anthony was an excellent guide and shared a lot of knowledge of the area. We had excellent weather and had a nice day in the outdoors.

My hubby, daughter, her friend, grandson and I went on the gold panning tour with our awesome guide, Anthony. Anthony told us all kinds of info about the scenery and animals on this hike; he was a fountain of knowledge! The terrain was rocky and steep in places and took some effort to climb both up and down, but we managed without too much difficulty considering our ages and fitness levels. Anthony explained in detail how to pan for the gold and what to look for and was very helpful while we were looking for the flakes. Although not all of us found some gold, we were glad we had the experience. I would recommend the tour and Anthony as a guide!
