    Really special to be able to cross the Yukon river and drive up the Dalton Highway to the arctic circle. Suzanne shared lots of information throughout the day and the day was broken up in to lots of chunks so it didn't feel as long as it was! Walk at finger mountain was also really nice, seeing the difference in plants in the tundra.

  • Wow to the Artic Circle Drive

    The Original Artic Circle Drive was great! Our guide Paul was a great driver who was personable and very knowledgeable. He gave us a good running commentary without boring us. Loved the little extra touches at Artic Circle sign. It was well worth the time and cost!!!

  • Driving North to the Arctic Circle.

    The most amazing was driving for about 12 hours and hardly seeing anyone signs of civilization except for the oil pipeline and couple of trucks passing by.
