Northern Alaska Tour Company Fort Yukon Tour

Catch a scenic flight to the Athabascan village of Fort Yukon, at the confluence of the Yukon and Porcupine rivers, eight miles above the Arctic Circle. You’ll be in the air for an hour and 15 minutes each way, with one hour on the ground. With your guide, you’ll touch the Yukon River, learn about subsistence, hear about the winter when it got down to 85 degrees below zero, and see the grave of the Rev. Hudson Stuck, who became the archdeacon of the Yukon in 1905 and led the first successful expedition to the summit of Mt. McKinley. You’ll leave Fairbanks at 7 in the evening and return around 11, with the midnight sun illuminating the way.
