GoldpanningKlondike Gold Fields & Exclusive Scenic Railway

Ride the rails in style, and experience the life of a prospector on this unique and fun-filled tour.

Explore an authentic 350-ton gold dredge and meet an entire cast of characters who introduce you to the life of an old sourdough and a chance to find your “fortune.” Following a 10-minute movie on the history of gold dredges, tour the actual dredge that mined over $8 million in gold from the Klondike Gold Fields near Dawson. Learn the art of gold panning and practice your technique in heated water. Haul your treasure into Gertie’s Gold Shack, have it weighed and, if you choose, transferred into a souvenir bezel.

After experiencing the rollicking Klondike Gold Dredge, and with gold in hand, transfer to the historic White Pass & Yukon Route railroad to continue your adventure. The train ride follows the same route that thousands of prospectors trod on foot in search of gold. On this exclusive tour, your group has a private rail car and a costumed escort from the dredge, who entertains you and shares personal stories of gold prospecting complemented by the historic narration provided by railroad crew. As you revisit the gold rush era from the comfort of your parlor car, enjoy a small snack. At the White Pass summit, raise a glass of champagne or sparkling cider for a Klondike toast. If you want to be treated like “gold,” come along for an unforgettable Alaska experience.
