Alyeska Pipeline Viewing Point

The 800-mile-long, 48-inch-diameter trans- Alaska oil pipeline parallels the Richardson Highway through the Delta Junction area on its way to the Port of Valdez. The line is underground where it crosses the Alaska Highway about half a mile southeast of the center of Delta Junction. At Big Delta, the oil pipeline crosses the Tanana River on a cable suspension bridge.

Santa Claus House

The Santa Claus House is a Christmas-themed retail store in North Pole, Alaska. It was founded as a trading post alongside the Richardson Highway in 1952 by Con and Nellie Miller, shortly after North Pole itself was founded by real estate developer Everett Dahl. The Santa Claus House served as North Pole's post office from its inception through the early 1970s. Around that same time, the business was relocated coincidental with the relocation of the Richardson Highway through North Pole. Ownership and management was passed down to sons Terry (prior to his untimely death) and Mike, who also hold the distinction of being the only brother pair who both served as president of a state senate in the United States. Santa Claus House is known for the world's largest Santa statue and its "Letters from Santa".

Enjoyed Northpole and learning about Pipeline. Our guide David was outstanding. He made sure we had enough time at each spot and plenty of pictures.

Susan_S

Had fun but not sure if each stop had the correct time allowed for it. Not enough time at Santa's house. Too much time at pioneer park considering it was closed and not much to look at. Probably nice in summer but not November.

David drove us to several interesting places including museums. My kids loved it as much as us. He took hundreds of pictures of the family. Highly recommended tour!!!!

Paul_S

Our guide, Joseph, was very helpful, energetic, and took many, many pictures of us and the sights. Leave your cell phone cameras in your pocket. Fairbanks has several nice museums that document the North. The campus of the U. of Alaska, Fairbanks is impressive and Pioneer Park is not to be missed. A very good tour and I'm still going through all of the pictures.
