try your hand at gold mining. This is the real thing not stocked
rivers. Do you think you have what it takes to make it as a miner?
Not a lot did. At the mine the park ranger will tell you about
what the miners had to do to just try and survive. Be sure that
you keep your eyes open for all the wildlife that is around you.
In the evening you will have some free time and a chance to have

see on your visit to this great land. The incredible landscapes,
surrounded by green mountains climbing to more than 8000 feet

n the summer...of course there's snow throughout the summer! Because
of the rugged road through the pass to

,
most visitors return to Wasilla the way they came: the road over
the pass to
Willow

Alaska
flowers and crops. No visit to Palmer is complete without a visit

Coloney Farm. This colony was initiated through
a law sponsored by President Roosevelt during the Depression in
order to provide a new start to families without much hope during
the depression. |

| The Palmer Musk Ox Farm is the only place in Alaska, for that matter, in the world where
you can view these exotic animals. If you prefer, you can also
see them in Greenland or Siberia...but it's a lot easier to see
them during your visit to Alaska! The Musk Ox Farm, located just outside of Palmer, Alaska (a scenic 50-minute drive from downtown Anchorage) is home to a unique domestication project which began in 1954. The Musk Ox Farm is an ideal place to observe and photograph these animals at close range. On the tour you'll learn about the history of the musk ox, a prehistoric remnant of the last great Ice Age, and how it has been domesticated on the farm. You'll see cows, powerful bulls, and tame yearlings. The Musk Ox Project promotes the use of qiviut (the fine under-wool of the musk ox) as the basis of an Arctic native textile industry, which provides an economic supplement to subsistence communities throughout Alaska. You will overnight in your same
lodgings at Lake Lucille Bed &Breakfast. (Meals Provided: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner) |
