Today's Adventure: Arctic Circle Experience
We will make our way to the local airfield where we board our flightseeing plane and travel north as we wonder at the expanse and remote aspects of the territory below. We will witness remnants of the gold mining that continues nearly 100 years after the yellow metal first brought newcomers rushing north. We will view the remarkable Trans Alaska Pipeline, symbolizing the immense changes brought to Alaska's Arctic by the discovery of oil over 30 years ago. We will fly over the expansive Yukon River Valley, home of traditional peoples that sustain their lifestyle and culture as they have for thousands of years. And we will thrill at the excitement of crossing the Arctic Circle.

The rugged and magnificent Brooks Mountain Range will delight as the flight route passes just south of the Gates of the Arctic National Park. We make our way to a wilderness community on the Middle Fork Koyukuk River and receive an official Arctic Circle Adventure Certificate (you will receive your certificate upon return to Fairbanks). Enjoy an orientation and learn the fascinating story of the surrounding Brooks Range wilderness.
