Grab
your shovel and pan, stand by for a
quick demonstration, and try your luck
at Crow Creek Mine for "a little color."
The mine, several miles up Crow Creek
Road on the left as you drive into
Girdwood, produced an average of 700
ounces of gold per month during its
heyday (1898 - 1940). It's estimated
that more gold remains on the site
than has ever been recovered.
Overnight visitors are welcome. The
accommodations are geared toward the
independent traveler. Just like the
Tooheys, who run the mine, you'll live
without running water or electricity.
