Bachelor Syracuse Mine Tour

95 Gold Mountain Trl · Ouray, CO

Why you should go…

The Bachelor Syracuse Mine Tour takes visitors 1,800 feet inside Gold Hill on a mine train, 1,500 feet underground, to see where roughly 8 million dollars in gold and 90 million dollars in silver have been mined since 1884. Guides, many of them former miners, explain the mining process and equipment along the way. The site also has an operating blacksmith shop and gold panning for an extra fee, and is located about 3.5 miles north of downtown Ouray.

Good to know

General tours guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Confirm the meeting point

    It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.

  • Small groups fill first

    In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.

  • Ask how much is on foot

    Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.

  • Read the weather policy

    Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
