Road Trip to Fairbanks, Day 12 (June 4th)

 

On the way to the U.S./Canada Border for the last time during this trip.

Here is the pictures taken on the last day of our road trip from Oregon to Fairbanks, Alaska.
My partner did all the driving all the way during our trip and I just kept taking pictures and navigated (a little bit).
It was really amazing to meet all the friends and encounter wild animals, birds and flowers.
The diversity of the nature attracted me!

Getting closer to Tok.

 

After passing Delta Jct., there was a big forest fire area.

 

After Delta Jct. we found a few moose.

 

It was right by the highway.
