The Aurora Train, a great way to see the Alaskan wilderness in winter, travels through the Chugach Range, the Alaska Range, and the Talkeetna Range. The mountains along the way, and the occasional wildlife, are a travel experience that shouldn't be missed.



Fairbanks is one of the world's best places to watch the aurora, because there are more than 243 days of the year when the aurora will appear. Since Fairbanks is only 310 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle and is surrounded by mountains, it can avoid bad weather and create good environmental conditions for aurora viewing. Therefore, many aurora hunters will gather here to enjoy it. Additionally, Fairbanks' low precipitation and distance from coastal areas contribute to consistently clear nights. All these combined variables make Fairbanks an outstanding destination for viewing the aurora borealis. There are also many newlyweds who choose this place as their honeymoon destination because of the ancient legend that "
seeing the aurora will lead to happiness for a lifetime".Our guides will take you to the best aurora viewing area to chase the aurora according to the weather conditions.
