Description
Yukon River flows 3037 km (1,875 miles) through the middle of the Alaska's Interior region to the Bering Sea. It is the longest river in Alaska. We reached the river in Circle, a tiny community (population of 107) at the end of the dirt road. Years ago, gold rush miners thought that they camped at the Arctic Circle, hence the name. Actually, the location is 78 km (48 miles) south of the Arctic Circle.
This a day trip from Fairbanks. Scenic views on the way are beautiful.
