Admission includedStep off the road and into the steam at Chena Hot Springs Resort, where geothermal waters have drawn travelers deep into interior Alaska for over a century. The air smells of minerals and spruce, and the silence is broken only by the creak of snow-laden trees. Whether the sky above Chena Hot Springs Resort blazes with the northern lights or glows with the endless light of an Arctic summer, the sense of remoteness here is immediate and real.
