About This Experience Gift

Learn How to Pan For Gold and Keep What You Find
Discover the Home of Ancient Dinosaurs at Dinosaur Ridge
Take In Outstanding Views of Denver from Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Discover the rich history that surrounds Denver during this full-day sightseeing tour. The adventure begins near Union Station in downtown Denver where you will meet your friendly guide. They will escort you on a trip back in time.

First it's off to the famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Here you will learn about the history and geology of this breathtaking formation. After pictures are taken, it's time to travel back over 200 million years to Dinosaur Ridge, where the ancient plains of Colorado once hosted dinosaurs. Delve into the fascinating history of this site, renowned for the discovery of the world's first known Stegosaurus and Apatosaurus fossils during the late 19th century.

Next you will take a tour of a precious metal mine at the Phoenix Gold Mine, a family-owned operation which has been passed down for four generations. Guided by an expert, you will hear about the mining industry's history and enjoy a hands-on lesson in gold panning. Before you return to Denver, a stop at Smokin Yards BBQ in the historic gold mining town of Idaho Springs is on the itinerary. Here you can unwind and savor the flavors of "High Elevation BBQ".

This unique gift promises an unforgettable day filled with exploration, history, and discovery of the natural beauty found just out side of Denver city limits.
