Chena Hot Springs is really a magical place in the winter. There is so much moisture in the air that everything is completely weighed down with frost, snow and ice, including the bridge and rocks. The best part is that people are allowed to bring their dogs--not to soak but to sit in cages on rocks right next to the springs so that they can partake of the steam and warmth which is probably great for tired sled dog muscles!! The pic on the bottom is a dog who seems to be quite enjoying his steam!
