Fairbanks Nissan

Sure, there were many hopeful settlers who journeyed west to California in the hopes of striking it rich during the Gold Rush. There were also some who ended up moving northwest and continued their search in Alaska. Relive that historic search when you visit the El Dorado Gold Mine in Fairbanks. The two-hour guided tour includes a ride on the Tanana Valley Railroad as well as a visit to the gold fields of the Interior.

Nature lovers love communing with nature at every opportunity. One such opportunity is an outdoor excursion on the Pinnell Mountain National Recreation Trail. This trail offers alpine-style backpacking over the course of its 27.3 miles. Along the way, you can enjoy truly stunning views of the mountains and other scenery that includes several summer wildflowers, alpine azaleas, forget me nots, and lots more.

Sometimes, getting out and catching some live music should be a different, relaxing choice instead of a crowded, noisy one. You can enjoy some of the best live music courtesy of local favorite Sand Castle every Friday and Saturday night when you make plans to visit McCafferty's, A Coffee House, Etc. This unique entertainment venue, is, as its title suggests, a coffee house that serves a great variety of blends. But it also is a great hangout with an easy-going vibe that offers a great way to enjoy some great live music in a classic coffee house setting.
