Their spirit is as alive today as it was in 1898. From the one-time capital of the Yukon you’ll follow history up Bonanza Creek (pan for gold) to Discovery Claim and Grand Forks whic once boasted a population of 10,000 where the eldorado Creek and Upper Bonanza come together to form the "mighty" Bonanza Creek.
