About this event

Come explore the restored remnants of this once thriving mining town.  From countless artifacts to rich history, Vulture City offers a glimpse into the life of Wild West Gold Rush from the late 1800s.  See the old buildings and artifacts, inside and out. There are many opportunities for still lifes and shots of old-timey buildings, furnishings and mining equipment.


Itinerary: 
  • Meet at 8:45 AM at the parking lot at the NW corner of W Goldwater Canyon Dr and N Remington Dr for a 9 AM departure. Riders will be assigned to vehicles before departure.

  • At the destination we will meet at the ticket office where we will pick up a self-guided tour map of the town. Participants will walk around at their own pace for approx. 2 hours.

  • After the visit we will be lunching at Mecca Bar and Grill Patio.

  • Return to The Grand approximately 3 PM.

  • The site is a flat dirt pathway with little to no elevation change.  Easy, level strolling, with lots of places to sit down.  

  • Bring sun protection, water and comfortable walking shoes.

Note:  The gold mine is not part of the town campus.

Fees:  Entry fee is $15 each or $12 for seniors and veterans.  You may wish to bring cash for a quicker check-in experience.
            Gas expense of $5 per passenger will be paid to the trip leader and shared equally among drivers.


This shoot is subject to weather, interest and availability of drivers.

If the shoot is full, be sure to sign up for the waiting list.

Note: Photoshoot image sharing review is March 27th at 3:00 PM in the photo studio.
