Why Fairbanks, Alaska?
Fairbanks is the gateway to the Alaskan Interior and one of the most unique Work & Travel destinations on the planet. In summer you’ll experience the famous Midnight Sun — up to 21 hours of daylight, meaning you can hike, kayak or play baseball at midnight. As the season turns toward fall, the tundra explodes into gold and red, and the skies come alive with the first Northern Lights of the year.
On your days off, soak in the Chena Hot Springs, take a day trip to Denali National Park to spot moose, caribou and grizzly bears, float down the Chena River, or visit the Museum of the North. Fairbanks is a friendly, student-packed college town with an easy pace, welcoming locals and an outdoor lifestyle you simply can’t find anywhere else in the USA.
About Alaska
