Experience Nome's Native Culture, Gold Rush History and the Iditarod

There's No Place Like Nome!

Nome, situated at the edge of the Bering Sea, is the finish line of the Iditarod, the world’s longest dog sled race. On your Nome Sightseeing tour you will experience first-hand the thrill and challenge of dog mushing with a detailed demonstration by a veteran Iditarod musher. During your visit to Little Creek Mine, you will be greeted by a gold miner's family and learn about the gold strike of the 1890's. Other places have gold panning, but nowhere in Alaska is gold fever more palpable, with dozens of massive dredges from a bygone era still standing sentinel on the tundra and many modern-day prospectors sifting the gold-bearing earth.
