Enhance your Alaska adventure on this fun filled 3-day trip to the remote Circle Mining District.
Spectacular scenery and hours of riding time await you as you explore some of the many mining trails in the country close to the Arctic Circle.
The Circle Mining District is full of history and mining trails, some dating back to the turn of the century when gold prospectors explored the creeks of Interior, Alaska, in search of gold. |
|
The small community of Central, where you will be staying, is located in the middle of this country (hence the name "Central").
There is an opportunity for Arctic grayling fishing and of course wildlife viewing is always a possibility no matter what we are doing. When we are out on the trail it is unlikely that we will see any other people, which has the appeal of true adventure seekers. You will be in the capable hands of a true outdoorsman who is accustomed to this type of activity.
