Fairbanks area

Fairbanks, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ's second largest city, sits on the banks of the Chena River in the heart of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. From the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ campus, the downtown district is easily accessible via the local bus system and a network of bike trails. The city is steeped in a history of riverboat captains and gold seekers. Its character has been shaped by a large military presence, construction of the Trans-ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Pipeline and the continuing oil economy, and a thriving university. It is a city where old quietly blends with new. Striking modern buildings sit side-by-side with log cabins built in the early part of the last century.
