An Arctic Circle Adventure
One of my best recent adventures in Alaska was a trip north to Fairbanks where my companion and I explored the northern portion of our State. One of the items on our must-do list was a trip north of the Arctic Circle so in Fairbanks we booked the Arctic Circle Fly-Drive Adventure, a tour operated by Northern Alaska Tours.
Our adventure started at 5am when we arrived at tour office located at the east ramp of the Fairbanks airport. Once the group was loaded into the van, along with our lunches they prepared and gear, we were on our way out of Fairbanks heading north with Patrick, our guide. About ten miles out of Fairbanks we past through the community of Fox, a historic as well as active gold mining town. Fox is also home to the Eldorado Gold mine, one of Fairbanks best 1/2 day tours. From the highway we could see a few mining claim still being worked. (more…)
