Candlelight Tours at the Broken Boot Gold Mine
Take a candlelight tour of the Historic Broken Boot Gold Mine! Opening for the 2025 season on May 24. Experience the mine the way prospectors did over 100 years ago, by candle light. In those days, miners were given a ration of only three candles per day. This tour offers a unique perspective not available at any other mine or cave tours in the region. Each guest uses a battery powered candle to light their way. An experienced tour guide will lead you underground and into a real, historic mine. You’ll learn about the mine’s history and the methods used to extract the precious metal. Be sure to arrive no later than 5pm if you would like a gold panning lesson. Additional fees apply.
Space is limited. Book in advance online (choose the 5:30pm Candlelight option). If reserving day-of, call 605-578-9997 for reservations and to check availability call 605-578-9997.
