Detailed Trail Description:

This run heads down the Aztec Wash Trail to Aztec Wash on the Colorado River just north of Lake Mojave, then heads out towards Nelson's Landing to finish.

Just a few miles down the road towards Nelson is the El Dorada Gold MIne based in Eldorado Canyon at the historical Techatticup Mine. It's the oldest, richest and most famous gold mine in Southern Nevada. There you can see all sorts of interesting artifacts gathered from around the area and elsewhere.

You can also take a tour of the Techatticup Mine. Last tour is at 2pm and you need to call ahead to make a reservation.

This is a level run 1 (very stock friendly and easy)
