Denali Gold Tours, Alaska, United States

Don't miss hanging out with Richard!!
We had a party of 7 consisting of a 10, 11, and 12 year old, 2 40somethings, and 2 70 year olds. Richard was so cool. He was great with the kids. Very patient. It was great to get to know a true alaskan, and he was a pleasure to talk to. Gave a great history of the area. And we found gold, and saw moose. Highly recommended, as this was one of the coolest things we did on our 10 day trip. We like hands on adventure, and this was cool. The water was cold even through the rubber boots, and having 2 pars of socks on would have helped. You start by meeting him at his place, and he gives you knee high rubber boots, and takes you to the river, telling you cool stories about the area. Then he teaches you how to pan for gold. Then grills up some reindeer sausages when you get back to his place. Highly recommended.

Highly Recommend!
We just finished our Gold Tour and I can not say enough good about it! We arrived early to be met by Richard and his two pups, Duke and Luke! Richard was great as he got us fitted for our boots and gave us an idea of what we would be doing. Then we got to meet Bart who led our tour. He was fantastic! The drive back to the creek was a blast as we learned about the area and panning and thankfully we were there on the perfect day to see the south side of Denali (far better than the look out points on the highway). When we arrived at the creek, Bart showed us what to do and we started panning immediately. It was so much fun to be out in the river prospecting (it also helped that we found gold in every pan)! The hours on the river sped by quickly and then we packed up and headed back where we were once again met by Richard, Duke and Luke for some delicious reindeer dogs! It truly was a wonderful experience, I can not recommend it enough!

Amazing Gold Panning & Alaska Experience!
We did a tour with Rich for our Honeymoon and had an absolute blast. Rich was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Alaska and gold mining. We got to see a part of Alaska that many people will truly never experience. We even had a chance to see a female moose and her little calf running alongside the street. Rich is a great, funny guy...we haven't laughed that long in ages! And the reindeer dogs at the end were delicious. Thank you very much for some awesome memories, Rich! - John & Kimberly
