Things to Bring

You’re going to need egg cartons

Small containers, paper towels to wrap your minerals in.

Getting There

IMPORTANT NOTE: Enter the Red Cloud Mine from the south at Martinez Lake. DO NOT ENTER FROM THE NORTH, NEAR CIBOLA. The Red Cloud Mine GPS coordinates are 33° 6′ 1” North , 114° 35′ 59” West (Latitude & Longitude, WGS84) or 33.10045,-114.59984 (Latitude & Longitude, decimal). Getting to the Martinez Lake area is relatively easy. It’s the last 15 miles on unpaved road that present a challenge. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is Recommended. Most of the unpaved road to the mine is through a sand wash. Again, do NOT try to enter from the north of Red Cloud Mine, near Cibola.It is recommended that you confirm your trip with the mine prior to travel. It’s safer for you if we know when to expect you at the mine. There are times when the mine is closed for a day or two, even during the season. There is no cellular coverage at Red Cloud Mine.

Cost

Red Cloud: $35 per person per day

South Geronimo: $40 per person per day

North Geronimo: $200 per day

Flouorescent mineral collecting: $100 per 5 gallon bucket (and if you an cram a ton on top of that bucket it’s all the same fee
