An
Adventure in Nome, Roundtrip Anchorage
Nome, situated
on the Seward Peninsula by the
Bering Sea, is rich in colorful
Gold Rush history, and is home
to the world's longest dog sled
race. The Iditarod commemorates
the heroic attempts of dog sled
teams to deliver serum to Nome
during the diphtheria epidemic
of 1924. Have your camera ready
as you pull into a dog musher's
camp, where you'll experience
first-hand the difficulty of
dog racing. During your visit
to Little Creek Mine, you'll
be greeted by a gold miner's
family and learn about the gold
strike of the 1890's. See modern
day prospectors looking for the
big strike and try your own luck
at panning for gold-what you
find, you keep. Shoppers and
collectors will find exquisite
jade, hand-carved ivory and skin
sewings here.
