Upon arriving in Alaska I was both surprised and disappointed that there are not that may hot springs here.
I had visions of me soaking in a beautiful Alaskan hot spring around midnight on a light summer day or during an icy cold winter day, but no.
So far I have been to Chena and Manley. Both are located quite far from Anchorage and even further from Kenai.
Chena is very popular with Asians, once when I was there, it was like me and all Asians, maybe two other non Asians. Not that I minded, I love Asians, especially at raves, very entertaining........!
Chena is absolutely beautiful and a little over an hour drive from Fairbanks. So worth the trip.
And while you are in the area, take a day and drive to Manley too. Manley hot springs, actually four concrete pools/tubs, are inside a green house full of greens and plants, very interesting and very pretty. I brought Chhaya into the green house, Chhaya loves hot springs too.
On a dreary day like this one, it is nice to look at pictures of warmer days. And I know that summer is just around the corner but......ugh.....today is kind of a depressing day. Having said that, I am about to step outside for a long walk with Chhaya.
First elimination on Dancing With The Stars tonight, who might be the first to go, maybe Martina Navratilova?
