'''Fairbanks ''' is the second biggest city in [[Alaska]]. It's spread over a wide area so tiring to walk around, but if you have time there's plenty footpaths and sidewalks. The Morris Thompson visitor centre down town can give you ideas for things to do and ways to get around, though there's not a huge amount that's cheap or free.

Hitching in and near Fairbanks was can be a great experience- in general the further from it we Fairbanks you got, the worse hitching got! We never waited more than half an hour for You can usually catch a lift in the Fairbanks area and in less than 30 minutes. Some even got picked up as late as midnight one night (a bright Alaskan summer midnight but even so).

West towards [[Esther ]] you can stand at one of the roundabouts near the University, walk as far out of town as you like really. To head north there are intersections and sliproads on the road to [[Fox]], and east towards the Alaska Highway it's a fairly easy walk from the centre of town to the start of the Richardson Highway.
