The Interior Feature

Denali National Park and Preserve: Denali's vertical relief, 18,000 feet, is greater than Mt. Everest's. The park is a stunning place to sample Alaska's natural wonders.

Gold-rush heritage: The frontier spirit of the richest gold rush in Alaska remains alive in Fairbanks. From exploring dredges to panning for gold, chances to participate in the past abound.

Stern-wheeler cruises: The riverboat Discovery is an authentic stern-wheeler that cruises the Chena and Tanana rivers, which served as highways long before there were roads.

The gateway to the Arctic: Fairbanks is an essential point for connections to northern Alaska—vast land of the midnight sun and the northern lights.

Dog mushing: The Interior is Alaska's prime mushing spot. Many people live here just so they can spend every free winter moment running sled dogs.
