Review & FAQ:

Garnet Mine Tours offers a fun treasure hunting experience for visitors of all ages. Beginning at the Gore Mountain Mineral Shop, tour participants follow a guide in their own care to the location of the actual location of the Garnet Mines. Once at the mine, the guide shares the geology and history of Garnet Mine and demonstrates how people can find their own garnet gemstones, beautiful mineral specimens, and large garnet crystal faces in the open pit. This mine site is primarily flat, making it wheelchair accessible and good for walking. Garnet rocks are weight at the site’s Mineral Shop.
