We are a family friendly, crystal collecting experience.

Our heritage 1920's mine property hosts a safe and exciting adventure. Your guide will show you how to collect sparkling quartz crystal geodes and our famous yellow barite crystals, while enjoying the view from our mountain top above the Granby.
