- Synopsis:
This tour of Alaska includes several stops along the famous Inside Passage, including Sitka - noted for its Russian architecture. At Juneau, we pay a visit to the Red Dog Saloon, where hordes of gold-seekers caroused during the great Gold Rush of 1898. A canoe race and hot-air balloon ride are featured in the city of Anchorage. We take a trip to "Alaskaland" in Fairbanks and take a ride on a vintage steam-engine train, followed by an outing on board a stern-wheel steamboat. Try your luck panning for gold in Nome, then view an Inupiat tribal ceremony and blanket toss in Kotzebue.
Wild AlaskaEnjoy an intimate look at the great variety of wildlife that inhabits the Alaskan frontier, including fox, bear, moose, salmon, sea otter and polar bear. Watch two bull moose lock antlers; see a pack of wolves hunt down a doomed musk ox.
