Dinner on the train on the way to Fairbanks provided both an opportunity to finally eat a relatively great meal, sit down on a comfortable seat, see some great scenery, and discuss what we had seen in addition to what was passing the windows.Since most of our traveling group companions all had diverse interests, we would discuss what we had done earlier on our optional tours along the planned tour route.
Not everyone shelled out $250 a person to get a 15 minute helicopter ride or a bush pilot ride. I suspect our biggest outlay was the $125 a person to go horseback riding on the tundra which seems in retrospect to have been worth the money considering the experience and likely prospect that we my never return to that place to get a second chance at it. Overall, we elected to see things up close and touch them rather than see them from far away. Thus, hiking was what we usually picked on for the chance to see and hear about the vegetation and see what was on the ground.
