During the early days the miners of Bullion Canyon paned their own gold from the creek.  When the placer gold played out, mining operations became expensive because tunnels had to be dug into the mountain.  At this point many of the independent miners sold their claims to small companies with capitol and stockholders.

For the next while (1-2 hours if actually driving the tour), this brochure will introduce you to the life and times of the miners of Bullion Canyon.  Numbers in this brochure correspond to numbered posts found along the next 2.5 miles of the road.  The road is rough in spots but is passable by most two-wheel drive vehicles.

At this point set your odometer to "0"
Stop 1 is 0.6 miles past the trailhead.
