For the adventurous, winter tours offer a chance to witness the Northern Lights and snow-covered landscapes. Check the National Weather Service for up-to-date forecasts and plan accordingly.
What to Wear
Alaskan weather can be unpredictable, so dressing appropriately is crucial. Layering is key; start with moisture-wicking base layers, add insulating mid-layers, and finish with a waterproof outer layer. Sturdy, waterproof boots are essential, especially for glacier visits. Don’t forget gloves, a hat, and sunglasses to protect against the sun’s glare on snow and ice. For more detailed preparation, visit Travel Alaska.
