About
There is no place in the world quite like the interior of Alaska. This tour will provide you with a one of a kind experience, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Our excursion will give you a view into a side of Alaska only few people will ever have the opportunity of experiencing.
On your journey from Fairbanks to Paxson, you will enjoy attractions such as the famous Knotty Shop, a unique woodworking shop featuring birch wood carvings as well as a variety of other local art and the best ice cream in the area.
As we continue our tour, you will have the opportunity to explore the Big Delta State Historical Park taking you back in time to the early days of the 20th century.
Throughout our day, scenic landscapes and unique landmarks will provide plenty of panoramas to be captured by camera or film to include Quartz Lake, the Delta Flats, the Trans Alaskan Pipeline and the Delta Clear Water River.
Grab a bite to eat in one of Delta Junction's eateries and visit the Sullivan's Roadhouse where the history of the Alaskan Gold Rush will unfold right in front of your eyes as you witness how pioneers lived in Alaska during the late 1800's.
As we continue our journey, you will enjoy sitting back and enjoying the ride and scenery as we take you deep into the heart of the interior. Few words can describe the experience of soaking in Alaska's vast nature to include the Black Rapids Glacier, expanse of vistas, rivers and mountains as well as wildlife which could include bears, caribou, moose and buffalo.
Arriving at Paxson Lake (214 ft), be sure to have your camera ready as the landscape opens up in front of you and offers an indescribable experience.
The peace and vastness of Alaska's nature has changed many of our guests forever. After many years of experience exploring the remotest parts of Alaska, this excursion combines our favorite landscapes and landmarks this state has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you.
