When to Go

For up-to-date weather forecasts, check Weather.gov before planning your trip. Each season offers unique sights, from the vibrant greens of summer to the golden hues of fall.
What to Wear
Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, so dressing in layers is essential. We recommend a moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating middle layer, and a waterproof outer layer to protect against wind and rain. Sturdy, comfortable boots are crucial for walking on glaciers or rugged terrain. Don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen to protect against the intense sun reflecting off snow and ice.

Photography Tips
Photographing Alaska’s vast landscapes from the air offers unique challenges and rewards. Use a wide-angle lens to capture expansive views and a polarizing filter to reduce glare from snow and water.
