Itinerary

1. 1

   Fairbanks, Alaska

   Your Alaskan adventure begins with a 3-night stay in Fairbanks, the “golden heart city.” Discover this gold rush boomtown’s unique mix of contemporary culture and rich history. As travelers' arrival times will vary, we have not included any sightseeing today. Spend the day as you wish, exploring the city independently. Dinner tonight is on your own.

2. 2

   Fairbanks

   Tap into Alaska’s “golden heart” with a visit to a locally owned gold-panning experience, where you’ll learn about the region’s gold mining past and try your hand at panning for some pay dirt yourself. Get to know Fairbanks on a city tour, including a stop at the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, an engineering marvel that delivers oil across the state to the port city of Valdez. After some free time this afternoon, you’ll have an exclusive visit to the legendary Trail Breaker Kennel where you’ll meet mushers and their happy pups. Witness the dogs in their element on a training run before enjoying dinner on the kennel’s scenic property.

   This morning is at leisure, or take a cruise on the Riverboat Discovery to get a glimpse into everyday life along Alaska’s rivers. This afternoon, visit the Museum of the North at the University of Alaska, where light-filled spaces and expansive windows highlight the spectacular views of the Alaskan range. Inside, the museum tells the state’s rich history through art, artifacts, and film.

4. 4

   Fairbanks - Denali

   Behold beautiful scenery as you relax and have breakfast in a deluxe domed railcar on your way to Denali National Park. Upon arrival in Denali, enjoy an included lunch and some free time. After, it’s your choice! Take a bus into the park with a ranger to meet the park’s sled dogs and tour the kennels, as these working pups help rangers reach remote parts of the park and are reflective of Alaska’s traditional wilderness transportation -OR- enjoy free time for independent exploration inside the park. Perhaps you'll visit the Murie Science & Learning center or take a walk on the paths surrounding the visitor center. The evening is yours to discover Denali as you please.

5. 5

   Denali National Park

6. 6

   Denali - Talkeetna

   Leave Denali National Park behind and step into small-town life in Talkeetna. Check into the iconic Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge, perched on a ridge offering unforgettable views of Denali. Perhaps you will take an optional flightseeing tour and witness the park’s breathtaking beauty from the air before landing on a glacier for incomparable views of the Alaskan Range. Later, join a local for an exclusive discussion on the down-to-earth Alaskan lifestyle.

   Talkeetna - Anchorage

   On your way to Anchorage, discover the pastoral charm of Matanuska Valley. Enjoy free time in Palmer for lunch before you take a step into the past with a visit to Musk Ox Farm.

Get acquainted with Anchorage on a panoramic city tour before enjoying an evening at leisure to discover what Alaska’s largest city has to offer.
