    The University of Alaska Fairbanks is an amazing place with stunning views of Denali, Deborah,…read moreMapps, Hayes, and Hess. We had no trouble finding parking and were thrilled to watch a cross-country skiing competition--specifically skate skiing. The women's final was absolutely spectacular! Later in the evening, we returned in hopes of catching the aurora, but unfortunately, we didn't have any luck. We later learned that an incredible display lit up the sky about 30 minutes after we left--just our luck! UAF is a fantastic spot for winter sports, breathtaking scenery, and maybe even an unforgettable northern lights experience (if you time it right!). It's probably a great school, too.

Since we are two travelers, we didn't have any tubes except two cardboard and it worked out well haha. It was a lot of fun. A friendly local family lent us two of their tubes. That melts our hearts. Forgot to mention there is an outdoor ice skating court to play hockey or just ice skating. You can rent the ice skating shoes in the student recreation center for $3 for the whole day!!!! It might run out of size so make sure to call to ask about your size or come early. There is also an outdoor rock climbing area. It's currently closed. You might need to call the student center to ask about it. The front desk person was super friendly. The parking lot is big. For visitors parking in front of the student recreation center should be safe.
