Description
On this day trip from Las Vegas, you'll explore the Seven Magic Mountains, the ghost town of Nelson, and the historic Pioneer Saloon. This journey offers a glimpse into the intriguing history of the Wild West, all set in the remarkable Arizona desert.
Day Trip Details
We'll begin by picking you up from your hotel in Las Vegas at the scheduled time to start your adventure in this desert city.
Your first stop will be the Seven Magic Mountains, an impressive display of contemporary art located just outside Las Vegas. This installation consists of outdoor columns crafted from sizable rocks. The vibrant colors contrasting with the ochre hues of the surrounding desert create a stunning visual. Don’t forget to take some photos of this unique site!
Next, the Pioneer Saloon awaits, recognized as the oldest tavern in southern Nevada, established in 1913. At this location, you'll delve into the genuine history of the Wild West, viewing walls adorned with real bullet holes that tell a story of their own. This venue has made appearances in various films, documentaries, and shows, making it a must-visit spot for photography enthusiasts.
Continuing our journey, we'll head towards the ghost town of Nelson. Historically known as El Dorado, this area was named for the rich gold reserves discovered by the Spanish in the 18th century.
As we explore this deserted village, you will uncover its fascinating yet tragic past, marked by stories of murders, power struggles, and shootings that were a part of life next to the mines.
After a comprehensive exploration, we'll board the minibus again and return to your hotel, wrapping up a 5 to 7-hour journey full of history and adventure.
