Learn to pan for gold (and keep all you find!), and discover Juneau’s colorful mining heritage for yourself. Head out with a prospector/guide for a historical tour of Juneau en route to “Last Chance Basin”. Your prospector will show you how gold panning is done on the banks of Gold Creek, in a beautiful, secluded mountain setting. We are the only company allowed to use this special place, but the locals know how much gold is still there, so you will likely witness some real panners. Expertly work the pan with helpful tips, and you will find gold–guaranteed!

Learn to pan for gold (and keep all you find!), and discover Juneau’s colorful mining heritage for yourself. Head out with a prospector/guide in authentic 19th-century dress for a historical tour of Juneau including the state capitol. Then, turn up the road to Gold Creek and “Last Chance Basin”, where Joe Juneau and Richard Harris struck gold in 1880. In a beautiful, secluded setting near a waterfall alongside Gold Creek — only accessible for groups under our tour’s special permit — your prospector shows you how gold panning is done. Then, it’s your turn, as you learn how to expertly work the pan with helpful tips and advice. You can choose to pan in the creek, or in the waist-high demonstration trough. Every one of all ages and those with limited mobility can learn how to pan and capture the full gold-rush experience. You’re guaranteed to find gold! And, all that glitters is yours to keep. Around you are remnants of the original buildings of the Alaska-Juneau Mining Company, which at the height of production was the largest operation of its type in the world. You’ll learn about the mining techniques that were used, and more about the quest for gold that is so much a part of Alaska’s history. Take home a souvenir Orelove Brothers Gold Claim Certificate, all the gold you find, and an appreciation of what is was like to seek your fortune in the wilds of Alaska more than a century ago.
