Our last stop in Alaska was in Fairbanks. It is in a time zone west of Pacific time and close to the Arctic Circle. We went on a River Cruise that was great fun. We did not spend a lot of time there because we flew from Fairbanks back to Vancouver (via Seattle) on July 4 and our flight was around 1:30 AM. Here are some highlights from our River cruise.
We saw a training center for Iditarod sled dogs on the way down the river.
We were able to get off the boat to walk around a village that was used by native people to the area, We saw reindeer, various animal skins and some replica buildings depicting how they lived.
We saw another sled dog and a float plane takeoff and landing demonstration.
We left Fairbanks early Thursday morning and flew back to Vancouver where we left our van. We will continue our journey on Thursday, July 4 from Vancouver in the next post.
What a cool place to visit! The wildlife pictures are outstanding, thank you.
