点评:We made this day trip as a family in August 2023. We left the North Pole area around 7 am and arrived at the Arctic Circle by noon, in spite of making two stops at the Yukon River and Finger Rock (for a quick hike) along the way. There was also a good bit of construction, and we had to stop to wait for pilot cars a couple times.
We had packed a picnic, and at the suggestion of a previous reviewer we brought birdseed. The birds were more interested in our lunch than the birdseed, but we very much enjoyed their company while we ate! We stayed for about an hour before heading back to North Pole. We did not stop on the way back (except for construction), and we back within 4 1/2 hours.
Just a tip: if you want souvenirs, there is a small store just north of the Yukon River. They sell a good assortment of postcards, shirts, hoodies, magnets, and mugs to commemorate your visit to the circumpolar north. They also have a gas pump if you prefer to top off your tank. Gas was $7.50 a gallon. They also have a restaurant and lodging available.
Second tip: there are metal grills set up by the picnic areas at the Arctic Circle picnic sites, so you could bring charcoal and matches and make yourself quite a feast! Or pack sandwiches like we did.
翻译:我们一家人于 2023 年 8 月进行了这次一日游。我们早上 7 点左右离开北极地区,中午到达北极圈,尽管沿途在育空河和手指岩(快速徒步)停留了两站道路。还有很多施工,我们不得不停下来等待几次领航车。
我们准备了野餐,根据之前的评论者的建议,我们带了鸟食。与鸟食相比,鸟儿对我们的午餐更感兴趣,但我们在吃饭时非常享受它们的陪伴!我们待了大约一个小时才返回北极。回来的路上我们没有停留(施工除外),4 1/2 小时内就回来了。
温馨提示:如果您想要纪念品,育空河以北有一家小商店。他们出售各种各样的明信片、衬衫、连帽衫、磁铁和马克杯,以纪念您对北极圈的访问。如果您想给油箱加满,他们还有一个气泵。汽油价格为每加仑 7.50 美元。他们还设有餐厅和住宿。
小贴士二:北极圈野餐地点的野餐区都设有金属烤架,带上木炭和火柴,就能吃上一顿大餐了!或者像我们一样打包三明治。
