Review & FAQ:

Indian Valley Mine is a historic quartz mine and popular tourist attraction in the community of Indian on the north shore of Turnagain Arm. Discovered in 1910 by Peter Strong, who came to Alaska during the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush in search of gold, Indian Valley Mine is now a major tourist attraction just outside Anchorage that offers fun for the whole family, seven days a week during the summer season. The mine features three collapsed mine shafts, a hand-dug gully that carries water to the site, a rustic cabin selling souvenirs and recreational gold panning where visitors can try their hand at finding gold.
