Hi again,
Thanks everyone for your input. Because of your input, I've decided to visit Fairbanks for sure in the next month and do a day trip to Barrow. I have only one concern though. I've only been able to find one company on the internet that will take me on a night excursion to see the Northern Lights. I'm planning on staying at a hotel in town, but I won't have a rental car. Do any of you know if there are multiple tour operators that could take me to see the lights? Also, how difficult would it be to get to the northern most point of the United States in October on a day trip to Barrow?
Thank-you again for your time! You're help is invaluable as I plan this excursion.
With Gratitude,
Bryan
