First stop.....Fairbanks!!
The Riverboat Discovery tour took us on a river cruise aboard a sternwheeler. We cruised up the Chena River to the point where it meets the Tawana River. The Tawana River is the largest glacial fed river.

The Tiwana river is carrying silt from the glacial runoff. |
Along the way, we stopped at a replica of an Athabascan Indian Village. It provided a wonderful insight into their traditions and customs.

Salmon being smoked for a winter food source.
Another highlight of Fairbanks was the Gold Dredge 8 tour. I was very excited to see the Alaskan Pipeline.
Panning for gold.....
Between four family members, we netted a total of $72 in gold flakes.
Next stop......Denali National Park!
