As the sun was rising it shone on a particular part of the canyon causing multicoloured reflections. As it rose higher behind a tall narrow butte it created a long narrow shadow on the ground which pointed to the entrance inside the canyon. At least ,that's what i remember.

If you aren't asking about how they are shown their path, you must be asking about their time within the canyon. Wikipedia has this to say:
"When they enter the canyon, they find that the sides are interlaced with rich veins of pure gold."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackenna's_Gold
NOTE: It's not fool's gold (iron pyrite), but REAL gold!
"Colorado leaves in disgust, believing the gold has been buried beyond reach. In the final scene, a saddlebag on the horse Mackenna took in the mad scramble is shown to be full of gold."~Wikipedia summary again
