Itinerary
【Fairbanks - Arctic Circle Sign - Fairbanks (drive both ways, about 16 hours round trip)】
Depart in the morning and take an Arctic van or bus along the Dalton Highway, one of Alaska's most remote and challenging roads. The whole road is 414 miles long, and is one of the world's "Ten Roads of Death." On the way you can observe the arctic tundra wilderness, with the possibility of seeing wildlife such as caribou, foxes, wolves, bears, or musk ox. You'll also pass over one of North America's five largest rivers, the Yukon River, and see an incredible product of human engineering, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, which crosses the state from north to south. Finally, you will arrive at the sign indicating you've reached the Arctic Circle (66°33' north), and receive a special "Arctic Circle Exploration Certificate" to remember your trip. If you're lucky, you'll have an opportunity to see the Northern Lights on the way back.
You'll return to Fairbanks between 2:00am to 3:00am. If you need to depart Fairbanks the following day, please book your flight for no earlier than 7:00am, to avoid risking missing your flight.
