Fairbanks is located in the central Tanana Valley, straddling the Chena River near its confluence with the Tanana River. Immediately north of the city is a chain of hills that rises gradually until it reaches the White Mountains and the Yukon River. The southern border of the city is the Tanana River.
Fairbanks is an ideal starting point to observe the aurora in Alaska. View the magnificent Northern Lights displays from a heated log cabin high above Fairbanks â far away from any city lights â and from the hills above Chena Hot Springs with a spectacular and breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view.
