Chena Hot Springs at -27°F: Worth It?

Chena Hot Springs is one of the most famous winter experiences near Fairbanks, Alaska — but is it worth the trip in extreme cold? On this part of our Fairbanks Northern Lights trip, we visit Chena Hot Springs Resort, check out the ice museum, walk through the snowy grounds, soak in the hot springs, and even catch more aurora activity. It is beautiful, strange, steamy, icy, and very, very cold. This is part of our Fairbanks Northern Lights series on Travelled Well. If you missed the first Fairbanks aurora video, watch it here: [PASTE LINK TO FAIRBANKS NORTHERN LIGHTS LONG VIDEO] CHAPTERS: 00:00 Chena Hot Springs in winter 00:20 The road to Chena 00:40 Arriving at the Ice Museum 01:10 Inside the Ice Museum 02:00 Chena Hot Springs Resort 02:40 The tunnel to the hot springs 03:00 Soaking in the hot springs 03:50 Aurora at Chena 04:20 Travelled Well Scorecard 05:00 What it cost 05:20 Final thoughts Would you visit Chena Hot Springs in winter, or is that too cold for comfort? #ChenaHotSprings #FairbanksAlaska #AlaskaTravel #NorthernLights #TravelledWell
