Fairbanks

When you make your way into Fairbanks, staying at the Northern Sky Lodge is an absolute must. It’s the perfect location to go hiking, skiing, and so much more. There’s only seven rooms, (each with their own unique Alaskan theme) so it’s probably a good idea to not procrastinate when it comes to booking a night here. It wouldn’t be called the Northern Sky Lodge if there wasn’t a chance to see the Northern Lights!

Need a little time away from the cold weather? Head over to the Chena Hot Springs. You can go and hang out at the hot springs which can reach up to 106 degrees. There are also hotel rooms, a campground, dining hall, and more. In case you’re having too much fun or never want to leave, you can always crash the night.

Fairbanks Golf Course is a nine-hole course and just so happens to be the oldest operating course in the region. They offer annual memberships, and have a restaurant that’s open year-round.
