The Fairbanks Trails Challenge is an all-ages, all-abilities, outdoor scavenger hunt of epic proportions! The Trails Challenge is designed to get you out with your family and friends to explore our wonderful local trails, both new and familiar. Want to take your furry friend along? Register yourself for the Pawblazer Challenge! Each summer and winter season, the Parks and Recreation Department staff temporarily install special signs in secret locations along local trails. While the signs are up, we invite everyone to visit the trails and try and find the signs. The Trails Office hosts two Fairbanks Trails Challenge events each year: A winter Trails Challenge and a Summer Trails Challenge. The Winter Trails Challenge starts roughly on the winter solstice and lasts through April. The Summer Trails Challenge starts roughly on the summer solstice and lasts through September. The signs are placed in new and different locations for the next challenge, so each season you are challenged to have a new adventure! Happy trails!
