Fairbanks, about an eight hour car drive north of Anchorage, is located in the heart of Alaska's Interior, on the banks of the Chena River in the Tanana Valley. Fairbanks is the largest city in interior Alaska and is Alaska's second largest city with a population of over 80,000.
Founded in 1901 as a trading post, Fairbanks today is the regional service and supply center for Interior Alaska.
With only a two hour drive or an easy morning ride on the Alaska Railroad, Fairbanks is a convenient point to access Denali National Park. It is also an excellent starting point for all our Northern Alaska tours north of the arctic and on to Prudhoe bay. A Fairbanks city tour, the Gold Dredge no#8 tour and Riverboat Discovery tours are very popular and highly recommended.
