Review:
Established in 1896, Crow Creek Historic Gold Mine is a gold-mining camp and tourist attraction that offers recreational gold panning and a family-friendly summer concert series. Set in a picturesque valley high in the Chugach Mountains less than an hour from Anchorage, the operational mine run by a mining family was once one of Alaska’s largest mines and boasts beautiful historic grounds with original buildings and an outdoor museum. Visitors to the attraction can try their hand at panning gold, running a creek-side sluice box, exploring turn-of-the-century mining equipment in the museum, enjoying guided tours of the site led by third-generation miners, and exploring the mine’s 400 acres and its hiking trails, one of which is the Historic Iditarod Trail.
