In this tour section, we have assembled some orienting
materials. The QTVR tour of Virginia City and the surrounding
area requires a new version of QuickTime. The file is quite large
and takes about three minutes to download, depending on the speed
of your modem connection. The tour provides an overview of the
area from the top of Mount Davidson, the highest mountain
overlooking Virginia City. From there it is possible to see not
only Virginia City at the base, but valleys and mountains about
50 miles distant.
The mining tour introduces the steps to mining with some
illustrations and maps. This information provides some background
for other topics and activities.
The vocabulary page gives some interesting mining terms and
definitions that may be useful for other topics.
