Alaska Gold Mine Tour (AM))
Join the
Binkley
family for another adventure as you explore Alaska's richest gold mining
district. The El Dorado Gold Mine has a reputation for offering a lively and
fascinating tour of Alaska gold history.
The El Dorado Gold Mine is located nine miles north of Fairbanks, just past Fox,
on the Elliott Highway.
The tour begins as you board a narrow gauge
train
and travel to a working Alaska gold mine where local miners demonstrate modern
mining techniques. Along the way, you will see actual demonstrations and
experience the Alaska gold mining history of Interior Alaska. The tour includes
a stop in our permafrost tunnel to learn about historic drift mining in the
area.
This tour is a "hands on" experience for the entire family to enjoy. It is
informative and interactive, and part of the action includes learning to pan for
Alaska gold. We even have heated panning water for your comfort.
