I was just reading an article on Yahoo!! Travel about Hot Springs around the world. Check out the picture of this one called Chena Hot Springs in Fairbanks, Alaska. I so want to go there.
Rock Lake is for adults only, and is fed by sulfur-tinged springs, reaching a toasty 106 degrees F. The true attraction is the blazing aurora borealis (northern lights), neon-hued curtains of charged particles that dance across the late-night sky. I have got to see the northern lights at least once in my lifetime.
Rock Lake is part of the 105-year-old Chena Hot Springs Resort; located 60 miles from Fairbanks. It has 80 rooms and suites, plus an indoor springs-fed pool (chlorinated and 94 degrees F), a spa, an ice museum, and dogsled tours. That would be cool to go on a dogsled tour.
You can visit the Chena Hot Springs year-round, but the northern lights are most spectacular from September to March.
