El Dorado Gold Mine Tour DescriptionThe El Dorado Gold Mine offers a lively and fascinating tour of Alaska's gold history. A train carries visitors though an impressively staged educational tour, including a trip through a tunnel in the permafrost. During the two-hour guided tour visitors will learn many interesting things about the history of Alaska's gold mining, meet and talk with Alaska miners and learn about present-day prospecting methods. After a short course in gold mining, everyone can try panning for gold and go home with enough gold dust to fill a plastic locket - typically $5 to $35 worth!
