Chena Hot Springs
After breakfast, get ready for a refreshing change of pace with a full-day guided trip to Chena Hot Springs—a local favorite for good reason. It’s just a 40-minute drive from the resort but feels like a world away.

After a warm and rejuvenating day, we’ll bring you back to the resort just in time to settle in for another night at Arctic Igloo Resort—and maybe catch one more show of the northern lights. *Lunch is available for purchase at Chena Hot Springs. *Dinner is available for purchase at the on-site restaurant.

Day 3
Arctic Circle Adventure Day Tour

Alyeska Pipeline Viewing Point
Here you will find informational displays about the pipeline and an example of a pig, the device used to clean and inspect the inside of the pipeline. It took 70,000 construction workers and $8 billion of investment capital to build the famous 4-foot silver thread that snakes its way through 800 miles of Alaskan wilderness to reach the nation's thirsty refineries, crossing mountain ranges, earthquake zones, permafrost, and rivers. Some 420 miles of the pipeline are elevated (with 554 animal crossings), and outside Fairbanks is the place to see it. As you watch, consider this: Every hour, more than a million dollars of black gold flows through it.

James Dalton Highway
From Fairbanks, the Elliot Highway takes you about 73 miles north to the start of the Dalton Highway, traversing boreal forest hills of birch and aspen trees and tundra valleys of streams and small rivers. You will cross the mighty Yukon River and pass through the valley to Finger Mountain, a treeless high point with short walkways and kiosks to learn about the region’s geology and alpine tundra. The Arctic Circle turnout has bathrooms and a picnic area.
