Musher's Camp® and Gold Panning Adventure

Learn about dog mushing and gold panning in this fun, family-friendly Alaskan experience! After arriving to our base camp, begin your tour with a Musher Talk, where the mushers share fascinating information about the Alaskan state sport of mushing. Of course, we make sure you have plenty of time to meet some of our professional athletes---our sled dogs and puppies! After that, take a chance to pan for gold in our riverside sluice. Once your guide shows you the art of gold panning, you can test your luck to see what you can find. Then you will have time to take a self-guided nature hike next to beautiful waterfalls and dense Alaskan forest or browse the gift shop and relax in our saloon with a deck overlooking the picturesque stream. All of this in a spectacular Alaskan setting! This is a tour full of Alaskan adventure, history, and awe-inspiring wilderness. As a small, locally owned company we take pride in sharing our passion for mushing and for Alaska.
