Gold Panning

Alaska Travel Adventures. Gold panning is fun, especially for children, and Juneau is one of Southeast's best-known gold-panning towns. Sometimes you actually discover a few flecks of the precious metal in the bottom of your pan. You can buy a pan at almost any Alaska hardware or sporting-goods store. Alaska Travel Adventures has gold-panning tours near the famous Alaska-Juneau Mine. Juneau, AK, 99801. 800/323-5757; 907/789-0052 outside Alaska. www.bestofalaskatravel.com.
