Virginia City to Gold Hill
Short, Sweet, & Steeped in History
Starting at the Virginia City F Street Depot, the Virginia City to Gold Hill excursion is a 35-minute round-trip ride brought to life by the historic Virginia Truckee Railroad Co.
You’ll pass through Tunnel #4, carved during the height of the mining boom, and glide past weathered timbers, old mining structures, and — if luck’s on your side — a band of wild horses grazing in the sagebrush. Along the 4-mile route, your conductor will spin tales of the Comstock Bonanza and the grit, gamble, and gold that shaped this legendary route.
