Our trip to the hot springs was wonderful and something I am so glad we did! While it is a hike from Fairbanks, it is well worth the drive (and is a great experience for the price)! The hot spring itself was a great experience, as you can meander around and experience the different areas of the hot spring with cooler and warmer water. The facility also has an indoor pool and hot tubs for those who cannot go in the hot spring. We spent a few hours in the hot springs and it was a great way to spend an evening!
