Chena River's Ice Road
Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Visitors from "Outside", that is from anywhere not Alaska are surprised by some of our winter features. This is a picture of Pike's from the ice road in front of Pike's Landing. In the winter, the Chena River freezes and Fairbanksians use then use the frozen surface as a road. One of the main entrances is the boat put in between Pike's Landing and Pike's Waterfront Lodge. The ice road lasts as long as the ice does; sometimes the last car to use it in the spring sinks a bit and indicates that the road really is gone until the next winter.
