Sutter Mine Tours

Join us for an underground excursion deep within the Mother Lode. What better way to experience California history than to explore a real gold mine? We'll take you along on the Deep Mine Experience, a new tour offered by Sutter Gold Mine Tours. Would-be miners, with proper tools in hand, are immersed in the underground world of the Comet Ore Zone for a quick geology lesson and an experience they won't forget.

Be forewarned, this experience is for those seeking adventure. The hike requires some physical agility, fitness, and good lungs (the minimum age limit is 12 years old). The journey requires climbing ladders and wading through puddles, but it is all worth it when you see the heavily quartz-veined greenstone studded with sparkling iron pyrite and gold. That's right gold! Each participant is allowed to mine for gold and take with them whatever they find.
