This tiny town plays host to the finish of the Iditarod, the world's longest dog sled race, and it's the perfect place to experience first-hand the thrill and challenge of dog mushing, with a detailed demonstration by a veteran Iditarod musher. Nowhere in Alaska is gold fever more evident, with massive dredges standing tall across the tundra. During your visit to Little Creek Mine, you'll learn about the gold strike of the 1890's, and even try your own luck at panning for gold ... and keep what you find!
