Exit Glacier nature hike and the Gold Panning at Clear Creek panning area located on Adventure Sixty North property is great for, viewing a glacier without getting on the ice and combining a bit of Alaskan history by learning how to find gold in a gold pan the Alaskan way! We will hike with you and provide a bit of glacier knowledge and local interpretive information as we hike to the toe overlook of Exit Glacier. The Gold panning demonstration and panning adventure will happen at our Clear Creek panning site on our property using our rustic water troughs, and our tarp-covered log structure for protection from wind and rain. Everyone finds gold and other semi-precious stones, we don't know how much you will find, but we do guarantee that you will at least find flakes of the precious mineral that is included with our pay dirt. You keep what you find, we supply the pans, local information, a bit of history mixed with a bit of geology, humor, instruction, and glass vials for your gold specimens and a container for your semi-precious stones. Garnets, Fluorite, Quartz, Red Jasper, and many others. About Gold Panning: We will teach you the ropes with a gold panning demonstration in our elevated troughs by our rustic gift shop. Personalized how-to demonstrations will have you panning like a pro while providing some local humor and history along the way. Truly an Alaskan experience! Where we pan for gold: The canvas-covered log-framed structure where we pan for gold is located just across from our walking bridge, between our office and the gift shop. Depending on the salmon run, we can often spy salmon in the creek. The covered troughs allow us to stay dry while panning, which makes this the perfect activity, rain or shine! We pan in elevated wooden troughs with proven pay dirt so there is a possibility of everyone taking home their very own Alaskan Gold and gems! Find more than gold: Learn how to pan, searching for gold and semi-precious stones that we also find around Alaska.
