Join Jeff and Sarah as they tour the historic Sutro Tunnel site, the connection between Virginia City mines and a location 3.88 miles away in Dayton, Nevada. Many of the buildings dating back to the 19th century are still standing.

The Sutro Tunnel was conceived by Adolph Sutro, who later gained fame as the wealthy businessman who became mayor and built the Sutro Baths and the second Cliff House which were both ruined by separate fires.

Please check out the Dayton video mentioned in the first part of this video. At the end of that you can see that we attempted to enter the property in 2021 but decided against trespassing.

  • Thank you Jeff and Sarah from all of us with the Friends of Sutro Tunnel. This video and the others like it that you do help to bring attention to these historic locations and in turn help to bring supporters, volunteers and donors. None of our restoration efforts would be possible without help. Hopefully we can have you out again in the near future to go into the tunnel, once its made safe.

    I can tell the guy that manages the Sutro site is super passionate about what he does. He's so knowledgeable about everything, and I was captivated watching the entire video. Thank you for preserving this part of American History!

    Thnx guys! I wish so very much they did not "transplant" buildings from their original grounds/corner stones etc. Although I realize it's an necessary Evil sometimes.... But once again another Amazing vid. Cheers Jeff and Sarah.

    Since childhood this place fascinated me. I have stopped and used the binocs to stare and imagine how it was in it's day. Even tracked the mine vents while traveling on the Six Mile road down the mountain. Thank you for the wonderful tour!

    I like this video! My wife and i went to Virginia City a few years ago in late April, we stayed in the Silver Dollar Hotel it was kool, one morning it snowed and the wind blew very hard!
  • Good to see Sarah. you've been missed...Thank you two......and Chris, and Asa....With the price of fuel...i'm glad you have this channel, so I can get out...LOL!

    I have been waiting for this video and you knocked it out of the park! This is one of the best documentaries on the Sutro Tunnel I’ve seen. I’m glad you were able to see the inside of some of the outbuildings as well. When I visited the in March, many of them were not able to be viewed because much cleanup was needed. The volunteers have done such a great job helping to restore the site. These last couple years, many of the historic buildings in Reno have been demolished in the name of “progress.” It feels like much of our state’s history is being erased before our eyes in a race to become the next Silicon Valley. With that said, I am so thankful there’s such a dedicated group of people including Chris and Asa working to preserve sites like this. It’s a shame the hippie commune didn’t take better care of the mill. But thankfully most of the buildings are still standing.

    Saw the longer video time. I thought a long video about a tunnel might be a bit boring, but I dug it! You certainly didn't shaft your viewers. I appreciate all the nuggets of information you supplied. I'd give this video a stamp of approval!

    Enjoy Sarah's comments and questions regarding mules and horses, reflecting her admirable and continuous concern about the treatment of animals.
  • @HollywoodGraham
    Super glad they invited you back for more Sutro tour. I am amazed at the accomplishments of the miners, engineers and any other trade that built the tunnel. Thanks for another history lesson....Maybe next time you can go inside and Sarah can go feed the wild horses.
