Snowy Steese Hwy. Fairbanks, Alaska
The Steese Highway carries travelers north from Fairbanks to within 50 miles of the Arctic Circle. Unforgettable sights, vistas, and natural wonders abound along this highway. Natural phenomena include the midnight sun on the summer, Circle Hot Springs and opportunities to see the Northern lights. The White Mountains National Recreational Area and Birch Creek National Wild and Scenic River are also accessible from the Steese.

From Central to Circle.
The Steese Highway is a highway in the Interior region of the U.S. state of Alaska that extends 161 miles (259 km) from Fairbanks to Circle, a town on the Yukon River about 50 miles (80 km) south of the Arctic Circle.[1] The highway was completed in 1927 and is named for U.S. Army General James G. Steese, a former president of the Alaska Road Commission.[2] It is paved for about the first 60 miles (97 km) and around the town of Central and gravel for the remainder, much of it narrow and winding.
The highway and surrounding region has a long association with gold mining. It was built to service the Circle Mining District, which was very productive in the 1890s, before the discovery of gold in the Klondike. Both historic sites, such as Felix Pedro's 1902 gold discovery which resulted in the founding of Fairbanks, and the preserved gold camp at Chatanika, and active dredging operations line the road.
Much of the highway passes through rugged unpopulated areas.
The Steese Highway is numbered Alaska Route 6 for most of its length, except for the first 11 miles (17 km) from Fairbanks to Fox, which are numbered Alaska Route 2. The highway has been designated as a National Scenic Byway.

Bible Baptist Church in Fairbanks Alaska was started by missionaries in 1960 who rented a building by the Chena River. Land was purchased at 913 College Road in 1962. The buildings have been expanded in stages and have survived the flood of 1967.
In 1992 we purchased a building, our current location, at 32 Adak Street (near College Road and the Steese Highway) to better reach our community for the Saviour.
Because of Fairbanks' strategic location at the end of the paved road, we are able to supply port and refuge for missionaries in the Arctic Circle.
Bible Baptist Church is an independent congregation, having no denominational ties with any organizations, but having fellowship with all who honor the Word of God and the God of the Word. We are neither formal nor stuffy, but enjoy a freedom of open fellowship and worship.

Alaska's northernmost major commercial center is
The town of fairbanks.
once a booming gold rush town, modern fairbanks
Still sits on alaska's frontier . It is the home of
The university of alaska; ; and a jumping off point
For activities in the roadless north. The university
is a research center for alaska's agricultural
and technological development , and the site of one
of the state's most prestigious museums.
the fairbanks museum houses
Elaborate displays on native indian and eskimo culture,
Wildlife, and technology. These exquisite examples of
ornate apparel were fashioned from the many natural
materials available to the alaskan native.
To the native american, every day objects were sacred,
And worthy of time consuming artistic embellishment.
The beauty and craftsmanship of the artifacts on display
Here reflect a world view that is as worthy of preserving
as the endangered species that once shared this great
Land with its first human inhabitants. Complementing
The native crafts, are displays of the fruits of
Man's labor in more recent times. One popular exhibit
Features the gleam of gold that brought men from all
over to seek their elusive fortunes.
The university also maintains a large animal research
Station where visitors can see musk-oxen, moose,
Caribou and deer from the public viewing platform.
creamer's field, located just outside of town
Offers 2 miles of nature trails and provides a
Sanctuary for migratory fowl.
A few miles north of fairbanks, you can drive right
Up to the great alaskan oil pipeline, one of the
Huge technological feats of modern times.
although the pipeline looks a little incongruous
winding its way through the wilderness landscape,
It was designed at a time when america was just
Awakening to the need for ecological preservation,
And it has many ecological safety features built
Into its design.
Portions of the pipeline are elevated
To allow the unimpeded migration of the caribou.
The pipeline is designed to slide on teflon sleds as
Changes in temperature cause it to expand and contract.
Expansion bumpers provide cushioning for these changes
And are part of the engineering features that assure
Structural integrity during an earthquake of up to 8.5
On the richter scale.
In order to keep the warm oil in
The pipeline from melting the permafrost below, the
Posts suspending the tube are actually fitted with
Refrigeration coils.
the high tech design of the pipeline is quite a contrast
To the old machinery displayed here in alaskaland's mining
valley.
This large theme park, built by the state of
Alaska and open to the public free of charge, also
Features a reconstruction of downtown fairbanks
During the goldrush days. These log houses were
Actually moved here from the old town center.
A ride on the miniature model steam train is
Popular with the kids, and is a good way to
Explore the park. For a longer trip into alaska's
Past, visitors board the steamboat discovery,
The last sternwheeler on the chena and tenana rivers.
The leisurely 4 hr excursion is run by the binkley
Family who have been piloting these riverboats for
Three generations.
A few miles north of fairbanks on 9 mile steese
Highway, another fascinating piece of alaskan history
Awaits. ..... The famous number 8 gold dredge.
This 5 story 250 foot rock eating monster took its
Last bite of this rich placer deposit in the late 50's.
today you can try your hand
At panning the gravels that lay just out of reach
Of the giant machine when it stopped working....
