Chances of the seeing the lights this time of year are really low.

I’d recommend just staying in Healy near Denali or somewhere close to that.

You could do the hot springs that are near Fairbanks, other than that there isn’t much to do there in my opinion.

Going to Fairbanks / Denali. EDIT: at end of Sept., after 5 days in Anchorage.

Any particular reason you’re going to Fairbanks? There isn’t much there

Really to see Denali. And our flight home leaves from there.

There is no such thing as a dark location until like late September…

The northern lights can be seen in August

I lived there for 4 years and October was when you had a “good” chance

Agreed it’s not prime time, but I’ve seen decent aurora there in August

We spent a night in Talkeetna here and did a Denali flight from there.

I have to admit that Seward and the drive from Anchorage down was our favorite.

Yeah, go to Anchorage instead. (This is 6+ hours away from Fairbanks)

I did that last month. That drive is amazing photos don’t do it justice.

I’d do none in Fairbanks and add 3 to Anchorage/Kenai peninsula
