Then it is off to North Pole Alaska and a visit to Santa Claus House, full of Christmas goodies. We arrive in Fairbanks this afternoon and attend the Golden Heart Revue at Pioneer Park, a musical comedy about life in Fairbanks in the 1900’s. Next an exciting day is planned as we board the Riverboat Discovery Sternwheeler for a three and a half hour cruise on the Cheena River. We will make stops shore and visit the home and kennels of the Iditarod champion Susan Butcher, and experience a traditional Athabascan fish camp. This evening a special treat, we will dine at an Alaskan Salmon Bake. Now we journey to Anchorage. We will spend time at the historic Mary McKinley View Lodge, which has a “spectacular view of the 30,320 ft tall Mt. McKinley” and enjoy this special lunch stop.
