Aurora site

Prime dark-sky site on Fairbanks’ outskirts for photographing the aurora borealis, starfields and winter landscapes. Best from late August–April on clear, cold nights; peak activity around equinoxes. Easy roadside parking with short walks to open vistas; no entry fee but dress for extreme cold. Check local aurora forecasts and moon phase; low horizon light makes for strong silhouettes and reflections on nearby water/ice.
