Canyoneering

Rappel the dry canyon, sculpted by thousands of years of tumbling glacial water, providing several obstacles along the way.

Journey to the Gold Rush for canyoneering, prospecting and panning for gold at Crow Creek Gold Mine. Adventure into this dry creek canyon sculpted by hydro-mining by ascending ladders and utilizing ropes. Crow Creek Road is dirt and winds through spruce and hemlock rainforests along the Iditarod National Historic Trail into the Chugach Mountains. Watch for black bears foraging in the underbrush on the way to Crow Creek Gold Mine which has been continuously operating and producing gold for over 100 years. The Crow Creek locals give a gold panning demonstration and walk through historic buildings in the scenic area. Hiking a quarter mile and down a hill to the creek gives opportunities to pan for guaranteed gold, sluice and prospect for gold in Crow Creek. Then hike from Crow Creek Gold Mine along the Iditarod Trail to the dry canyon created by hydro-mining operations. Here you begin your detailed safety orientation to canyoneering techniques. Gear up in harnesses and helmets for the rappelling descents to the dry canyon and a thundering 60 foot waterfall in the Jurassic-like area. These challenges require climbing ladders, utilizing ascenders, gripping ropes and balancing around boulders in steep terrain. Bring sturdy footwear, long pants, small cameras and a sense of gold rush adventure!
