The Arctic Circle Flight Adventure Tour gives you the best of both worlds. The tour departs in a small plane from Fairbanks and lands across the Arctic Circle. When you deplane, you can walk on the tundra and marvel at the treeless landscape. Once you get back on the plane for your return flight, you will see such memorable sites as the Arctic National Park, the Brooks Range and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline from the air.
The sport of canoeing is something that requires both physical stamina and mental agility. You can practice sharpening both skills required for this fun sport when you take to the water at Wooden Canoe Lake. The water is always inviting and proves to be the perfect place for beginners to get acquainted with the sport or for more seasoned paddlers to practice and maintain their level of performance.
When you consider the vast landscape and tundra-covered terrain that Alaska is known for, it only makes sense that flying would become the most efficient means of transportation in this expansive part of the world. Learn about the origin and development of Alaskan aviation when you visit the Alaskaland Pioneer Air Museum. You'll see interesting exhibits that include 16 aircraft, 17 engines and several pieces of memorabilia that go to make up over 50 years of aviation history.
With the nearly constant chilly conditions in Fairbanks, skiing is a sport that is enjoyed by a significant segment of the population. One of the more popular skiing destinations that still retains a rather local charm is Moose Mountain. Skiers are taken to the top of the mountain on a ski bus and then get to the bottom by enjoying the quick but enjoyable ride on Moose Mountain's accessible but still challenging slopes. The mountain is also a favorite of snowboarders.
