Description: A day full of information and knowledge about Alaska. Have your picture taken on the Arctic Circle and receive a "Cross the Circle-Certificate" at Joy Alaska, the Arctic Circle Trading Post. En-route, enjoy stunning views of interior Alaska, the Trans-Alaska-Pipeline, wildlife, the mighty Yukon River and the high plateau of Finger Mountain. Along the way there is plenty of opportunity to take pictures, view wildlife, and relax at rest stops. Get a close-up view of the famous Trans-Alaska-Pipeline and learn interesting facts about the engineering and building period. At Finger Mountain, you’ll take a short nature hike in a beautiful high plateau above the tree line. Walk right to the edge of Alaska’s most famous river; the Yukon will impress you with its majesty and history. Purchase breakfast at Hilltop, a rustic truck-stop, and dinner at Yukon Camp.
