Day 6 - Fairbanks to Chena Hot Springs
Your morning is at leisure to enjoy the ambiance of Fairbanks.
There are excellent museums in the city, including the Museum of
the North, the Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center, and
the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum, and an incredible variety of
attractions. Do not forget to get a picture under the moose antler
arch and to walk through the streets of Pioneer Park, which are
lined with historic buildings. Mid-day, you are transferred from
Fairbanks to Chena Hot Springs Resort for a two-night stay. The
resort is located approximately an hour east of Fairbanks and is
situated in an ideal position for Aurora Borealis viewing. Upon
check-in, spend the afternoon soaking in the natural and man-made
amenities of Chena Hot Springs. Perhaps take a dip in the hot
springs, the heated pool, or one of the hot tubs. You may also wish
to rest up in your room in preparation for tonight's adventure.
This evening, embark on a 4- to 5-hour Aurora Viewing Expedition
Tour. From the resort, set out in a Small Unit Support Vehicle,
which travels to the top of a nearby hill for an unobstructed view
of the northern lights. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience,
and vistas surround from every angle. A heated yurt is available
should you need to warm up. Overnight Chena Hot
Springs.
