Yay! Our very first “wonder” in The Yukon – thanks to GoldenRev!
Every time I see the word “Yukon”, I can’t resist repeating it in my very best “bearded little old gold miner” voice … and by very best; I mean terrible but semi-amusing. 
This is the World’s Largest Gold Pan located on the Alaska Highway – next to the Kluane Museum of Natural History in Burwash Landing. The pan is 21 feet in diameter and features a gold miner panning for gold near Kluane Lake.

The world’s largest gold pan is actually in Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada. It also has a nugget and pick and shovel to go with it.

I’ve seen pictures of the one in Quesnel. I need to go see it in person one day
I’ve found that there are a lot of differences of opinion involving various “World’s Largest” things around the world. I think the Burwash pan is judging itself on diameter … regardless, they’re both super-cool
