Fairbanks to Delta Junction – 1 of 2

October 7, 2025

I am going to break up my trip to Tok into two parts – getting from Fairbanks to Delta Junction (which I have done before) and getting from there to Tok (which will cover new turf). I took lots of photos of several mountain ranges and will post them in a somewhat different manner.

The first set will be of mountains that were to my right, looking across a wide river which I posted photos of when I made this trip the first time. It will start with a few photos I took with my iPhone that will create a “panorama” from left to right when viewed in sequence. There are two sets of three, which were taken 1 hour and 16 minutes apart, so they were from slightly different vantage points on the highway. The second set of three will then be followed by 28 photos taken with my digital camera zoomed in to show detail of the terrain, depth of view and snow cover. There may be some duplicates, and you will see some “overlap” as I moved the camera from left to right (i.e. what is on the right side in one photo may be in the center or left side on in the next photo). I am pleased with the quality of the digital photos so am just going to post them all.

Here is the first set of three, taken at 103pm. Again, these create a panorama effect, from left to right, when viewed in sequence.

And here are three photos of the same mountain range, taken from further down the road at 219pm.

Those three don’t show the entire mountain range but it appears the road I was on had taken me closer to the mountains. This was the vantage point from which the digital photos were taken.

I will now post the first 14 photos taken with the digital camera. The following post will include the second group of 14 photos. My intent is for you to view these photos on a standalone basis and just take in the variety of terrain in each of them.

These are in random order and don’t necessarily follow the left to right viewing scheme.

Continued in next post.
