ALASKA’S BASECAMP for adventure Thanks to its central location within the state, Fairbanks has served as a hub for access to Alaska’s Interior and Arctic since its very beginning. Whether on your own or on a tour, any route you take out of the city will very quickly lead you to jaw-dropping scenery dotted with serene lakes, crisscrossed by mighty rivers and shadowed by majestic mountains. Wilderness abounds and adventures begin. To get you off the road and into the wild, guided ecotours, fishing and boat charters, and wildlife tours can be arranged through professional outfitters. Float a mighty river, fly fish a remote stream, take a flight to see glorious mountain and glacier views or simply be still in some wild place and take in nature’s extraordinary gifts. Roadhouses, lodges and friendly communities along the way welcome visitors and encourage exploration.
