GOLD DREDGE 8 TOUR
Tour price: $35
Before you board the train, enjoy a close-up-view of the Trans Alaska pipeline and a presentation about the history and operation of the pipeline.
Then take a seat aboard the narrow-gauge Tanana Valley Railroad and hear the conductor tell tales of prospectors who arrived the thousands during the Gold Rush.
The train ride takes you to Gold Dredge No. 8 where you will see first-hand how the dredge worked the gold fields. Once the train arrives at the camp, local miners will give a brief but informative course in mining, and then you will try panning for yourself!
You will find gold – we guarantee it!
Next, explore the dredge camp and enjoy complimentary coffee and fresh backed cookies in the gift shop, as your gold is weighed; then, hop aboard the train and return to the pipeline.
