Historic Crow Creek Gold Mine Tour

Travel the back roads to the late 1800's at Crow Creek Mine, nestled in a valley on Crow Creek where you and your Salmon Berry Tours guide will dig for gold!  The drive down the scenic Turnagian Arm will start this tour.  Once into Girdwood, your Salmon Berry Tours guide will take the back roads up Crow Creek Road to Crow Creek Mine.  Here you will have a chance to see historic buildings, miner cabins, equipment used in the old hydraulic placer mine, have a chance to see a real gold prospector, and walk through the gardens to the creek to try your hand at prospecting.  Your Salmon Berry Tours guide will instruct you in basic panning skills and then teach you more tricks of the trade in the creek!
