Walks and Tours in Fairbanks

We left the hotel and stopped by Rose's Cafe for breakfast on the way. Despite the simplicity of the building, there is a cosy atmosphere of hospitality inside. For the first time here you can order one of the many variations of the omelette. There are also many sandwiches and snacks to choose from. Ice cream and fruit pies are also available for dessert.

At the entrance to Fairbanks we decided to make a short stop in one of the remarkable places of the small town. Historic Alaska Railroad Depot is a small station where the same atmosphere that prevailed during the industrialization period has been preserved. There is a locomotive on the square as a monument and a souvenir shop.

To better understand the nature of Alaska, it will not be enough to drive through the nature reserves, the full picture will be lined up after visiting the University of Alaska Museum of the North. Expositions here tell not only about the natural diversity of the state, but also about art and technology. There are even exhibitions devoted to programming, dinosaurs and design. It is important to add that the museum is closed on Sunday.

After long excursions, we went to a cafe nearby for lunch. In addition to the usual sushi and sashimi, this restaurant serves delicious local fish - salmon are especially good. Rice or noodles are the standard variant for such establishments.

Another important stop in Fairbanks was the Creamer's Field Reserve. It's quite large, though not as large as Denali, but it's also a pleasant stroll through the fields and forests of Alaska, admiring the views of calm lakes and local farms. Here you can also often see herds of interesting breeds of livestock walking and grazing in the meadows.

Before going to dinner, we decided to go to a rather remarkable city park Golden Heart Plaza. The place is pretty lively, and it's not surprising. Nearby there are many different shops and museums, and the walk itself will take place on the tidy paths of the park, which are decorated with a variety of fountains and statues.

The day is nearing its end, and we decided to end it on a pleasant note - a trip to the restaurant Big Daddy's BBQ & Banquet. The facility is a real find for meat lovers - pork, beef, chicken, various sandwiches and burgers, steaks and chops, grilled and stewed with vegetables in a pan are served here.

The day has come to an end, and the main part of our journey too. We saw a lot of incredible and amazing places in parks and reserves of the state, made quite fascinating excursions, and now we just need to rest and gain strength for tomorrow's trip home.
