Gold Mine Classic

Black Warrior Mine

Experience Old Arizona!

Ride with Arizona Safari Jeep Tours on a one-of-a-kind Excursion through some of Arizona's legendary ghost towns and gold mines.

Start from scenic Sedona, then venture into the Bradshaw Mountains, one of the richest mining areas in Arizona, producing over 4 million ounces of gold in its heyday. Visit a variety of different mines and towns, all but forgotten by time, where history still lives. Hear the tales and lore of yester-year and experience the old Arizona that most people only read about.

Minnehaha Flats, c. 1890

Walk on the ground where Apaches clashed with cavalry, prospectors risked everything to strike it rich, and the brave scratched out a living. Eat lunch at the same table where Pancho Villa played poker. Ride through deep canyons and over high peaks on trails forged by Indians, outlaws and pioneers. Travel up old railroad beds where steam engines traversed seemingly impassable terrain, feats of engineering and sheer will power. Enjoy breathaking views of the vast Arizona territory. Be one of the privileged few to revisit the past.

We take you by luxurious Ford Excursion, climate controlled and outfitted for heavy duty adventures. The most authentic Arizona backcountry experience available. This is not a filtered and refined tour experience--this is a remote backcountry excursion for the true explorer! Hiking boots and long pants required. Water and lunch included. Reservations required.
