All of the above. Amongst my crazy Alaskan Arctic adventures, Moose Tracks was the one refuge. This brand-new place has a welcoming, spacious common area with kitchen, generously stocked with continental breakfaststuffs, and each bedroom is quiet and right-sized. It's definitely hard to find this place, as the turn is not marked - it's exactly 14 km south of Airport Way, just turn right after you see the building with a blue roof that says "HOWDY" on the side (as of 2018). The neighborhood is unusual, full of messy yards with discarded equipment, and the road condition leaves much to be desired. But once you're here, you won't want to leave. It's an oasis among the muck of Fairbanks, and the best price you'll ever find. Worth the drive from the airport or downtown. Worth staying there twice on non-consecutive nights. Leave a story in the guest book.

I stayed at this hostel in Fairbanks with 2 of my other friends for 3 days and 2 nights. First off,…read morethe host is super nice and seems like an easy going guy. The common areas aren't the cleanest but I didn't really spend much time there so I can't complain. Our set up in the room was nice! It was 2 bunk beds and it had a bathroom in the room so it kind of felt like our own bathroom, but I'm pretty sure other people on our floor are able to use it. Notably, the beds are super comfy! And I like that each bed has its own curtain. I imagine it's to keep the light out when there is 24 hours of sunlight, but it was the best sleep I had in the last 2 weeks of traveling. I don't think there are many options when it comes to hostels in Fairbanks, but this was a good one to stay at for a good nights rest after staying up all night trying to catch the northern lights!

Tim worked with me on several iterations of my preferences/expectations and put together an amazing trip for me. His recommendations were timely and precise in that, unlike some other services I have used around the world, everything (outfitters, accommodations, restaurants) was still in existence/operation. Unfortunately, in less traveled places, I have often found that even annually published guidebooks cannot keep on top what's closing down and what's still open. Using Out in Alaska absolutely provided everything I wanted for my first experience of Alaska. I will certainly be returning soon, and hopefully be able to participate in one of their tours. On a related note, the B&B we stayed in had another tour group staying on the last day of our trip. At breakfast, the tour guide (I believe her name was Robin) arrived to pick up the group. In a short time, we found out she was with Out in Alaska. She was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable, so I was a bit jealous that this other group was essentially getting a personal tour of the area by someone who obviously knew the best/secret destinations that make a trip unforgettable.

This was the first year for the Katmai trip and if you've ever wanted to see brown bears in their natural habitat, it's a no-brainer. Add hiking and kayaking into the mix and you have a "can't miss" vacation.

My dad and I had the opportunity to stay here on Tuesday, July 2, 2019. We just needed a quick place to stay for one night in Fairbanks as we had another flight to Bettles the following morning. So, so many regrets - I wish we had at least two nights here! The place is listed on the National Register of Historic Places!!! How awesome! We stayed in the William Room ($131) which was on the first floor of this beautifully historic bed and breakfast located in the heart of Fairbanks. The manager (?), Melanie, greeted us and got us checked in for the night. We were able to make ourselves feel at home even with all of the antiques everywhere. I was truly amazed and got out my DSLR to take some more photos. We did our laundry every chance we got during our five-week trip so I was quite thankful Melanie allowed us to use the washer and dryer which were located in the basement. Although each room seemed to be booked, we actually didn't see many other guests during our short stay. Like I mentioned before, our stay was short and we had to leave to get back to the airport pretty early. Melanie was so gracious to accommodate us and still provide breakfast despite it being before the normal breakfast time - I really appreciate that! The pancakes, sausage, and fresh fruit were all incredible and I'm not just saying that - it was one of the best breakfasts of the entire trip! I'm going to let the pictures show how great this place is but I do want to note this is one of the oldest buildings in Alaska, built in the 1916s (I think) by a wealthy man to court a female to Fairbanks. It was sold a short while later to author Mary Lee Davis and has since changed owners upwards of 11 times. It's been restored and decorated to reflect the early 19th century. Check out the pictures but more importantly, book a stay here!

I even asked if we could leave since there was no aurora and all Ben Boyd said was you only have about 20 more mins...everyone in our van wanted to leave they were all standing there when I asked.

We had contact with Ben Boyd who's the owner for this business and we super professional and easy to have in contact with in regards to setting everything up! We ended up booking a dog sledding day adventure to give us something extra to experience. DOG SLEDDING PORTION - what a great experience to encounter!! The dogs they brought out for us were super amped to start mushing us away. They had so much energy it was funny watching them just barking the whole time until they start moving they're focused and just GO GO GO!! They had everything all set up for you, just make sure you dress WARM cuz the dogs are pulling you in that cold air!! Worse case if they don't think you look warm enough they will have extra parkas, boots for you to borrow. Once you're ready to go they have you sit on their sled and once they get the signal from the others, off you go! It's about 30 mins round trip and let me tell you, it was soooooo FUN! Amazing views as you're being pulled by the dogs - Fact as I was observing, the dogs just kinda poop/pee as they go so if you wonder what that smell is, it's probably them haha!! They let you take all the pics you want, everyone was super friendly!! They also informed us that the dogs are very well taken care of and are very much loved by Kathy (who heads the dog sledding adventure). For this experience we got picked up by around 1 pm and any others that made the same reservations, it's also $100, but trust me it's something to try once!! NORTHERN LIGHTS PORTION - the main event we were waiting for! We were told that the Aurora was showing up much earlier than predicted to so Ben had us be ready by around 815-830 to be picked up. There were other that we had to pick up on the way as well. Once everyone was accounted for, the 25 mile drive we go till we get to the Chandalar Lodge (a secluded area away from the city of Fairbanks). Super quant and WARM! So many areas to view the Aurora, outside, down stairs, just again DRESS WARM for this! Temps were about -20 last night and my heating packets can only do so much with that coldness!! Once we got in were were greeted by the owner of the lodge with tea/coffee/hot chocolate and cookies for us to enjoy. They play an educational Aurora video throughout the night until Ben puts on his own Cultural Show! He's the oldest performing Native Hoop Dancer in the World at 71 years old! Amazing! Right after his performance the Aurora started to appear and let me tell you, pictures don't do justice, especially when it's slightly faint cameras can't do the job that eyes can (even then, you gotta have a really good camera to capture it) it was on and off for a good 20-30 mins. Then it would reappear randomly throughout the next hr but it won't be as strong. After about 1am we got taken back to the hotel. EVERYONE. Needs to seriously have this experience in their belt, cuz it's nothing like you'll ever see before! So just go out there and DO IT!

Amazing views, a variety of toasty tubs, and cute little cabins make for an EXCELLENT getaway!…read more Definitely check it out! We went for 2 nights, 3 days during the week because the cabin was booked solid almost every weekend. I'd advise at least doing 2 nights as getting out there is a bit of work no matter how ya do it (skiing, hiking, snow machining). We started the 10.1 mile trail out by snow machine around 1:30 and it took a few hours to get there as we got stuck and overheated a few times. Dropped our things and headed off to the hot springs almost as soon as we arrived. Chose the middle - a cedar tub (the other two were plastic) - for our first dip. The second night we did the top one which had a fabulous view -- although you had to stand it in pretty much (the middle one you could comfortably sit and lay down in). The sunrise on our second morning was stunning - purpled, oranges and blues! I'm only sorry I didn't snag a photo of it riding behind our cabin (I'd misplaced my phone during the fun the previous night). We also rode down to the lakes in our snow machines the second day -- it was absolutely beautiful and the boys really enjoyed sliding around and doing 360s on the ice of the frozen lake. Lots of trails to choose from too. AN ADVENTURE DEFINITELY WORTH HAVING!
