Tour Details

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.

This was a great experience for a great price. What more could you ask for. All the employees bring great attitudes to the table and you can tell they love there job and who they work for, Brad Johnson, the owner has the best customer service. Great trails and you really get the see the desert off road.

Shooting Package Rave Review!

5/5
The shooting packages available are amazing. The weapons we were able to shoot were almost unlimited. Ao many options to choose from. We originally started with the basic package but then upgrades a couple of packages and had almost 10 weapons to shoot. Their rules are simple to follow. The prices are fair for the times. I would 100% recommend a shooting package here. SO much fun! I can not wait to go back and do it again!
