Sourdough Circuit

This multi-sport activity combines authentic gold prospecting, rafting and hiking into a one of a kind Alaskan adventure. 

You are transported back in time to the historic Crow Creek Gold Mine.  Try your luck panning for gold and see how miners lived at the turn of the century. 

Hike a mile down through rainforest to the cable-hand-tram crossing Glacier Creek.  Try the hand tram while we prepare for creek rafting.

Rafting down Glacier Creek is unique to our operation.  The non-stop class II+ action is suitable for most paddlers (experienced or not). 

We stop at waterfalls along the way too. 

Price:  $139 (adult)   $99 (children 5-12)

Two departures daily at 9:30am and 3pm (allow 3 hours)

 

Full-Day Sourdough Circuit

Explore historic and modern mining techniques at the Crow Creek Gold Mine. 

Hike the Winner Creek Trail and cross Glacier Creek on a cable-hand-tram.  Another short hike takes us to the scenic Winner Creek Gorge. 

Then pull on your dry-suit and life jacket for exciting rafting down Glacier Creek.  This narrow creek offers steep non-stop action suitable for most paddlers. 

We have a deli sandwich picnic along the way too. 

Price:  $199 (adult)   $159 (children 5-12)

One departure daily at 9:30am (allow 7 hours)
