Fairbanks Chena Hot Springs Photo Guide & Travel Tips ♨️

Fairbanks Chena Hot Springs Photo Guide & Travel Tips ♨️ Chena Hot Springs is a must-experience winter attraction in Fairbanks—not only a cozy oasis in the icy wilderness, but also a perfect spot for stunning photos! Here, you’ll truly feel the “-30°C above the neck, 40°C below” ice-and-fire contrast, making it an ideal setting for highly-liked social media posts. ❄️🔥 🚗 Transportation Guide The hot springs are about an hour’s drive from downtown. The road is narrow, and conditions can become challenging after snowfall—it’s easy to slide into ditches when passing other vehicles. We saw several cars stuck in ditches along the way, so drive slowly and carefully! ⚠️ If you’re not confident driving in snowy conditions, we also offer private shuttle services between downtown and the hot springs—safe, convenient, and stress-free. 🎌 📷 Photo Tips Professional cameras are not allowed in the hot springs area, so your phone will be your best tool for photos. In extreme cold, lenses fog up easily—keep tissues handy to wipe them clean. You won’t really need a waterproof pouch—we usually take photos while waiting for our hair to freeze, then leave our phones on the rocks by the springs to enjoy a relaxing soak! 📱✨ After your soak, don’t miss the small creek nearby. The snowy landscape there is pure and expansive, perfect for capturing dreamy winter scenes—every shot feels like a winter fairytale. 🌲❄️ 🕒 Extra Tips for Your Visit Try to visit on weekdays for a quieter experience; Bring your own towel, slippers, and quarters for lockers (25¢); Don’t stay in the hot springs too long—remember to hydrate; For the iconic “frozen hair” look, wet your hair before stepping outside—it freezes almost instantly! 🧊👩🦰 Whether you’re looking to take breathtaking winter photos or simply want to warm up in the freezing cold, Chena Hot Springs has you covered. Come plan your dream ice-and-fire adventure today! 💙 #AlaskaTravelPrivateCar#AlaskaTravel#AlaskaAurora#AlaskaPrivateGuide#Fairbanks#ChenaHotSprings#FairbanksIceFishing#HotSpringsPhotographyGuide#WinterWonderlandExperience
