About the Business

Desert Adventures is a unique institution located at 21200 South Red Cloud Mine Road in Vail, Arizona, United States. This institution offers a combination of car repair services and tourist attractions. One of the main attractions at Desert Adventures is the opportunity to explore a decline mine shaft known as the "Blue Room" at the 125' level. Visitors can use a rope to lower themselves down the shaft and collect minerals and ore from the walls using a hammer and chisel. The mine is known for its natural caverns and unique mineralization, making it a one-of-a-kind experience.

Unlike other mines and caverns, Desert Adventures encourages visitors to touch the walls and ceilings in order to collect beautiful minerals and silver ore. The mine also offers the chance to find fossils of sea creatures and trilobites that have been extinct for over 300 million years, showcasing the rich geological history of Arizona. At the top of the mine entrance, visitors can enjoy stunning views of the surrounding conservation land and experience the beauty of the desert landscape.

In addition to exploring the mine, visitors can also pick out crystals and minerals from the tailings pile and visit the Flats, an area where water runs year-round. For those with their own ATV or UTV, guided tours are available for an additional fee, allowing visitors to explore the high desert and see some amazing sights.

Whether you have questions before booking your tour or are ready to experience the wonders of Desert Adventures, the institution's website, designed and managed by Wowsers Web Design, is available for more information. Don't miss the chance to visit this hidden gem in the Arizona desert and create unforgettable memories.

"We had a blast today! Desert Adventures, hands down, is the best mining tour around! Bob was the best, putting up with our constant questions and making sure everyone was safe and prepared. He is very professional and has a wealth of knowledge about his mine! Bob has some of the best specimens in his mine, and I highly recommend that if you're in the area to come see him. It's well worth the trip! Thank you, Bob, for the experience of a lifetime! We will be back the next time we're in town!"

"Amazing tour into a 150 year old silver mine. This is a once in a lifetime tour if you have the chance to go it's a must! The atv tour through the desert was amazing and so much fun. Definitely the highlight of our trip from Canada to Tucson. 100% recommended. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area. Do not miss this experience!!"

"Me and my buddy Danny had the time of our lives hanging out with Bob learning all about his mine, the local history, the geology, and his sense of humor! Riding quads in the high desert was a real hoot too! 10/10 do recommend! Top-notch crystal and mineral collection pieces to find here too!"
