Why Fairbanks, Alaska?
Fairbanks is Alaska’s golden-heart city and the gateway to the Arctic. During the summer you’ll enjoy nearly 24 hours of daylight – perfect for hiking, kayaking on the Chena River, riverboat cruises and exploring the Alaska Range on your days off. As the season turns to fall, the skies darken just enough for one of nature’s greatest shows: the Northern Lights. Chena Hot Springs, Denali National Park, gold-panning tours, moose sightings and midnight baseball games are all part of everyday life here. The lodge itself sits right on the riverside, surrounded by birch forest – you’ll be living in a postcard.
