BEAUTY OF THE NORTH TOUR

Alaska’s Hidden Gem: Explore the Untouched Beauty of the Interior

Tour Description:

Step beyond the ordinary and journey deep into Alaska’s heart on our Beauty of the North tour: a full-day adventure from Fairbanks through some of the state’s most breathtaking and untouched landscapes. This immersive experience reveals the wild spirit of Alaska: where glassy lakes mirror mountain peaks, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline stretches across tundra and taiga, and traces of Gold Rush history linger in quiet roadhouses and historic parks.

Your day begins with a convenient hotel pickup in Fairbanks or North Pole. As you leave the city behind, the road winds through boreal forest and open valley vistas, a landscape that feels vast, peaceful, and entirely its own world. The first stop brings a taste of local charm at the Knotty Shop, a beloved Alaskan landmark known for its whimsical wood art and frontier character. From there, the journey continues south toward Big Delta State Historical Park and Sullivan’s Roadhouse Museum, where you’ll step back in time to Alaska’s pioneer days. Learn how early travelers braved this rugged route long before highways existed, and explore a preserved roadhouse that once offered weary gold miners food, warmth, and shelter.

As the drive continues, sweeping views of Quartz Lake, Delta Clearwater River, and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline unfold — each stop offering chances to stretch your legs, take photos, and maybe even glimpse moose, caribou, or bison along the way. By afternoon, you’ll reach Summit Lake, perched more than 3,000 feet above sea level. Here, the air feels cleaner, the light sharper, and the silence deeper; the perfect setting for reflection, photography, or simply soaking in Alaska’s unfiltered beauty.

After time to enjoy the scenery, you’ll begin the relaxing return trip to Fairbanks, retracing a route rich in color and history. Along the way, your knowledgeable guide will share insights into the region’s geology, wildlife, and human stories, weaving together the natural and cultural tapestry that makes Alaska so unique.

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned explorer, this tour offers a genuine connection to Alaska’s wild interior, far from the crowds, close to its soul.
