Scouts Cove

Scout's Cove is a small canyon between Black Canyon and Opal Mountain and the site of an early 1900s fire opal mining operation backed by the Tiffany Jewelry Company from New York.

The trail wanders through this beautiful desert valley. The trail's highlight is a hollow tufa dome carved out by the opal miners to create a cool and comfortable desert mining camp. It still provides an excellent and unique experience.

Next to the tufa dome was once a 200-foot deep and dangerous vertical mine shaft that has now been filled in.
