Antler Arch is the Gateway to Downtown Fairbanks.  The arch is made up of over 100 antlers that have been collected from all over Interior Alaska. (September 2016)
The gleaming spires reaching skyward near the banks of the Chena River in downtown Fairbanks, Alaska, look like ice crystals or quartz crystals. The longest piece reach up to about 11m (36’). Named the “Polaris”, at night when the multicoloured lights reflect on the highly-polished steel surface, it looks like northern lights dancing in the sky. (September 2016)
On the banks of the Chena River in Fairbanks. About  midnight in July.

Right off the bat, they’re locked 24/7 so I had to communicate with the front desk through an intercom. The lady didn’t even greet us and she was very rude and was being very short with me and I was barely checking in… Also, I fell for the pictures on their page… This hotel was nothing like that. ...

Chena Hot Springs Resort offers a large variety of activities year-round. One of those is snow shoeing, both a fantastic and frusterating experience lol you can rent a pair at their activity center for $7.50/hr or a flat $25 a day. There are several trails around the resort ranging from an easy walk to a strenuous climb. This one was the mountain ridge trail, a 3 mile easy walk around the resort that held some pretty fantastic views, especially at sunset. Once you master the art of moving in a snow shie, its a surprisingly enjoyable way to spend the afternoon! :)
