The largest city in the interior of Alaska,
Fairbanks was founded as a part of the Alaskan and Klondike Gold Rush of the
late 19th and early 20th centuries. The city is a commercial center for the
state and is also a convenient jump-off point for Alaskan wilderness adventures,
as it is located along both the Chena
and Tanana
rivers and the Dalton Highway, which runs through the state to the Arctic Ocean.
Outdoor activities are abundant, with hiking, fishing, hunting, kayaking and
canoeing areas nearby. Spectacular mountain and wilderness scenery surrounds
the city, and Fairbanks is the largest city close to Mt. McKinley, the highest
point in North America. Aviation history enthusiasts should visit the Pioneer
Air Museum, which showcases 14 aircrafts and a number of artifacts. Fairbanks
accommodations range from mountain lodges to bed and breakfasts to hotels.
