Fairbanks is the third largest city in the state. It is much
|
||||
farther north than Anchorage and in Interior Alaska, so it
|
||||
experiences larger seasonal daylight and temperature swings.
|
||||
Winter temperatures are frequently well below 0°F, so make sure
|
||||
you bring appropriate winter gear. The Fairbanks area is also
|
||||
great for northern lights viewing opportunities. The annual World
|
||||
Ice Art Championships will be happening in town, and is a must if

you're in the area. If you drive further out of town, Chena Hot
|
||||
Springs Resort is also an interesting place to visit.
