Fairbanks

Fairbanks, the second largest city in Alaska (approximately 70,000 people), is known as the “Golden Heart City” because it lies in the heart of the state and it was established during the Alaska gold rush. Fairbanks offers all of the amenities of a mid-sized city. Highlights include the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and The University of Alaska at Fairbanks Museum (which has the finest displays depicting Alaska’s history in the state). Fairbanks also boasts many outdoor activities including hiking and fishing. For more information on the Fairbanks area, we recommend visiting the following site:www.explorefairbanks.com.
