1-Day Alaska Arctic Circle Adventure From Fairbanks
Fairbanks
The second-largest Alaskan city is a great place to view the Northern Lights, also called aurora borealis. Fairbanks was founded in 1901 by Captain E. T. Barnette and was named after Indiana politician and one-time U.S. vice president Charles Fairbanks. Points of interest within the city and nearby are Pioneer Park, Museum of the North, Creamer's Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge, IceAlaska Ice Park, Santa Claus House, and Goldstream Dredge No. 8.
Arctic Circle
The invisible ring of latitude on the globe runs through the Arctic Ocean and several countries including the United States by way of Alaska. The Arctic Circle in Alaska is marked by a sign along Dalton Highway marking it at a latitude of 66° 34′, just above the Seward Peninsula. It is the southernmost latitude in the Northern Hemisphere that the sun can stay continuously above or below the horizon for a 24-hour period.
Yukon River
This 1,980-mile long river begins in Altin Lake in the Canadian province of British Columbia, runs through the Canadian Yukon Territory and then into the U.S. state of Alaska to empty into the Bering Sea in Wade Hampton. The Yukon River was a major thoroughfare during the Klondike Gold Rush from 1896-1903. Its Thirty-Mile section from Lake Laberge to the Teslin River is part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. The river is only crossed by four vehicle bridges - The Lewes Bridge, The Robert Campbell Bridge, and two called The Yukon River Bridge.
This tour would take approximately 16 hours.
We will head north from Fairbanks in the personalized, comfortable coaches at around 10:30 AM. Head back to the hotel around 2:00 am the next morning.
