- This is our first travel vlog together. We went to explore Fairbanks, Alaska during the winter. The main reason we came here was because of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), which we saw several times! In addition, there are tons of other fun activities that can be done in Fairbanks including riding a snowmobile, dog sledding, ice fishing, dipping into a hot spring, and lots more! Alaska truly is a paradise! Will definitely come back here!

I used to live in Fairbanks, this video sort of makes me miss it. It is definitely a unique city. I don’t miss the below zero temperatures and long dark mid-winters. I say mid-winter because at least October through November early December you get a decent amount of sunlight for outdoor stuff like glacier hiking and snow-machining, then again in March through April. But late December through February you only get maybe three hours or less of sun if you’re lucky. I do miss the views outside or Fairbanks in the mountains and Anchorage. Plus it is definitely quite something being at an outdoor restaurant, concert, bar at 1100 at night and it’ll be straight sunshine. So if you’re lucky enough to have days off in the middle of the week, it makes for some great long summer hiking and swimming.
Was it depressing being in low light no light places?
@@earthlycolorbrown6246 If you let it get to you, yes. However, if you’re smart with your time and find creative things to do, you’ll be totally fine.
Where are good spots to hike in Fairbanks or close to?
Awesome video!

Did u guys take any tours to see mothers lights ?
AMAZING.... Starving to be there after seeing all these.
Need more information about the dates you visited and cost of the tour and reservation of all these activities and one more important thing to know that should we have a known person over there for all these or just go our-self?
It helps to know a local that can drive you around. I used to live there for three years. Definitely a “unique” experience.
I honestly didn't know so many people wanted to visit there lol. When I lived there in the early 2000's it felt like going back into the 80's, but in a very remote town with incredible wilderness and skies and a lot of drunks.
you made me smile. I just hit a young 65. Top of my bucket list is to see norther lights. We arrive april 6ht...good chance to see? were did you drive to to see them?Thank you!!!!! woo hoo Also I would appreciate where to stay and other places to explore :)
Awesome video!! What month did you go?
I'm thinking of going second week of November but not sure if that's a good time 🤔
Which camera was used to capture the northern lights ?
yes I would love to know too!
Awesome video guys!!! We're headed to Fairbanks this coming Friday (Dec/2022) what month was this ? TIA.
Ice Road Truckers were never filmed on the Alaskan Highway. "ALCAN Highway." The Dalton Highway goes to Prudhoe Bay. The ALCAN Highway goes south through Canada. Two very Different highways.
Hi! Ive planned to fly first days of April. How easy is to book a tour to see nothern lights, i mean over there with no previous reservation? Do you recommend rent a car? Muchas gracias!!!
Very good information thañk from India
Excellent video!
Which part of Fairbanks did you see the Northern Lights?
All you have to do is look up at night. Simple
Great video! My wife and I are planning to go in December! Which month did y'all go in and how were the roads and drive out of Fairbanks?
What rental car did you have? Are SUVs or 4WD a requirement? What about engine block heaters?
hello,i am planning our family trip during late February(7 of us).when did you go? the roads looked fairly drivable and did you just go anywhere to see the aurora borealis lights?
Awesome video! How was the food at the different spots?
I used to live there. Just moved away in February 2021. The Cookie Jar is delicious!!! Most of the “sit in” food places in Fairbanks are “mom and pop shops” except for your typical fast food like McDonalds, BK, Wendy’s, Papa Johns, etc.
Nice video! Very informative. Are there vegetarian food options?
Yes, Fairbanks is definitely a meat, seafood and potatoes town, but they do have mom and pop places that have vegetarian options, plus if you live here you can cook what you want. Now with it being so remote, grocery stores sometimes won’t have all the things people are used to, but with better technology and faster shipping, that’s starting to change quite a bit. They’re shipping a lot of things from Seattle as well. Plus there’s always Amazon and Ebay. They recently got a Costco and that was a major deal. Hope this helps. P.S. I used to live there recently so that’s how I know.
What's location to see Northern Light? My family will travel to Fairbanks by the end of Sept.
hope to see you there! my girlfriend and i are travelling there the last week of september. it's the week of the fall equinox so we should have some nice aurora nights!!
@@footsteps2179 do you mind to share the location to see the northern lights?
In which month did you visit fairbanks bruh? I mean when was this video shot?
How much was everything ?
Hundreds of dollars. Aurora tours can be several hundred depending upon if you rent camera equipment. Sledding isn’t too bad, it depends on the company. Anywhere from $25 to $300 depending on what all is involved, some will stop for food and other things, plus it depends on if it’s in Fairbanks or Anchorage. Snow-machining can be about $100 per person depending on the company and the trails you go on. Fairbanks has this “monopoly” type of attitude since it’s in the middle of Alaska and Anchorage is 400 miles away and a grueling drive through bumpy roads that are damaged by the constant freezing and thawing with harsh winter snow. So most places are like “where else are you gonna go”. It’s definitely not cheap to live there. Groceries itself are ridiculous. A family of four with each getting a large combo meal at McDonalds will easily spend $50. A large BigMac combo plus tax alone is about $12-$15. They have to have EVERYTHING either flown or trucked in from “the lower 48” because only certain crops can grow in that climate. Not long enough growing season. Only two months really. Not enough to sustain life for everyone. A lot of people are self sufficient and grow what they can when they can in their own personal garden.
Omar ! I will love to go there 👍
what website did you book from?
Considering to travel solo here in wk 3 Feb. Is it doable ….?
Very Good " Cinematography, " " Good Music " too.
But you should have spent a little more time on the " Caribou(s) " 3:02
because they Are after all a " Pleasant " and " Amusing Animal " !
