Caves which feature beautiful stalagmite and stalactite formations.

We took the full 90 minute tour. Great tour guide. The walk was not difficult at all. There are stairs, and a few places where even I, at 5 feet, had to bend low in order not to bang my head. It's a cool 50 degrees, you need a light weight jacket. Bring a camera, you will love this tour.

The Nevada Northern Railway is a non-profit historical foundation whose mission is to maintain and operate what has been acclaimed as the best-preserved railroad facility in the United States. Come, enjoy history with us! We offer 90-minute train rides up toward the historic Ruth Copper Mine, as well as a view into the history of what put this mining town on the map. Don't miss the included tour of the Engine House and yard after the train ride. You can see the facility that has been servicing these steam locomotives for over a century now. For the serious railfan, we offer the opportunity to be at the throttle (and brakes!) Of a real, standard-gauge, steam locomotive on your own private run "up the hill." Covid-19: Masks are required to ride the train and while inside buildings.

This place was a lot of fun! I wish there was more information on how to find the garnets at the site, and the sign that had information wasn't at the top of the parking lot so I was looking around for it a few minutes before finding it. Based on some of the other reviews I had read I ran into the grocery store in town and bought three mini colanders/strainers for us to bring with us. We didn't have a hammer and chisel so we were looking for loose garnets. The most successful method for us was to go into the washes and scoop us the loose rocks and sand. Sift out as much of the sand as you can, pick out the big rocks, then slowly pick through the rest to see if you have any garnets. We were only there for an hour or two-this place is close enough to town it is easy to come for just a little bit or you could stay longer if really interested. If you are staying for awhile make sure to bring water. There is a toilet at the top parking lot but we didn't use it so I am not sure the cleanliness of it.
