10 days in Fairbanks Itinerary

With its strip malls and fast-food restaurants, Fairbanks appears a bit functional on first glance.

Change things up with a short trip to Chena Hot Springs Resort in Chena Hot Springs (about 1h 20 min away). Spend the 28th (Tue) exploring the striking scenery along Steese Hwy. There's still lots to do: examine the collection at Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum, deepen your understanding at University of Alaska Fairbanks, surround yourself with nature on a nature and wildlife tour, and identify plant and animal life at Creamer's Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge.
