The first week of this joint program is hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Fairbanks. Please plan to arrive at Wickersham Hall on lower campus after noon on Sunday. As we have people arriving in town by various methods and at varying times, we are not able to meet our arriving Elderhostelers. We have a very limited transportation system in Fairbanks, with the majority of buses running between the city and the university. There is almost no public transportation to the outlying areas, nor to the airport.
Free parking is available on campus.
We accept cash, personal checks and traveler's checks. On Saturday, June 24 we will transport you to the Alaska Railroad Fairbanks Depot-the northern terminal of the northernmost railroad line in America. After a night in Anchorage, you will continue on down to Seward by chartered bus. They book an arrival into Alaska in Fairbanks and schedule their departure from Alaska out of Anchorage. Talk with your travel agent about this.
