Last Day in Alaska - Pioneer Park

Our last day in Alaska. So sad! It has been an amazing journey. I love the wilderness of Alaska - it is undoubtably harsh for 2/3s of the year and living here is possibly something I could not do (at least not year round) but it appeals. All Alaskans that we have met have been characters, friendly and willing to pass the time of day. The rush of the city doesn’t exist here. And so it is the last day.
Our walk took us down to the river and along it’s banks to The Pioneer Park, another tourist attraction but without the tourists. All of the buildings in the village are originals not reconstructions. Many were cabins and shops from Fairbanks in her earlier days so it was good that they were moved into this area and repurposed to conserve the local history.Read more
