Discover the Gold Tour
 Fairbanks
owes its founding to the
discovery of gold. Your
driver-guide will bring those
early days to life explaining
the misadventures of one Capt.
E.T. Barnette and how a rumor of
gold actually panned out.
Included are stops at Gold
Dredge No. 8, the historic
structure that dug the river
bedrock of Goldstream and
Engineer Creeks for Alaskan
miners right up until 1959.
While you’re here enjoy a hearty
miner’s lunch and try your hand
at panning for gold. Keep your
findings as a special memento of
your visit.
The Trans-Alaska Pipeline is an
800-mile engineering miracle
that carries Alaskan crude from
Prudhoe Bay in the Arctic to the
seacoast at Valdez. You’ll have
the opportunity to visit a
portion of the pipeline that
passes near Fairbanks and hear
many a tale of how “black gold”
brought prosperity to Alaska.
What To Wear
Due to unpredictable Alaskan
weather, we advise dressing in
layers, which will allow you to
stay warm and dry as the outdoor
environment changes. For this
event, please also bring
comfortable walking shoes and a
jacket that can shield you from
light wind or rain. Don't forget
your camera and binoculars for
the many photo opportunities
along the way.
