THE PIONEER ADVENTURE

Step back in time and learn how and why early pioneers migrated to the hottest, driest desert in North America.  Your mesmerizing journey begins in the Old West with a visit to a replica Old Mining Camp which depicts the harsh life of the early prospectors and gold miners. Learn how they coped with the extreme climate, primitive living conditions, and the back-breaking business of prospecting, mining, and extracting gold from ore.  Pan for gold like the miners did in the late 1800's, then tour the Camp which features a gold mine exhibit, telegraph office, stage coach office, mercantile, assay office, and town jail.   Then you’re off to a pioneer homestead where you will learn how early pioneers survived in the arid desert climate.  The homestead includes a recreated 12' x 16' homestead shack, outhouse, pond, laundry area, chicken coop, and more.   As your journey continues, you will explore steep-walled canyons and deep gorges as you follow the prospector's quest for gold trapped in the veins of quartz rock.
