This 8 mile hike starts with hiking parallel to the North Fork of the Chena River through mixed spruce and birch trees. As we ascend we will pass rock outcroppings called tors and then access the alpine tundra ridge with 360 degree views, which will guide us most of the way until we drop down to the hot springs. Throughout the hike you will experience a large variety of what the Alaska wilderness has to offer. From potential wildlife such as beavers and moose, to a variety of birds, and vegetation. Chena Hot Springs offers natural, rejuvenating outdoor thermal pools. While soaking, enjoy the breathtaking surroundings and views of the hike you just completed. After soaking you can enjoy dinner at the Chena Hot springs restaurant and visit the ice museum at the resort before we return to Fairbanks and your hotel.
