When to Go

During this period, weather conditions are generally more stable, and daylight extends your sightseeing opportunities. However, winter tours can also offer unique experiences, such as viewing the northern lights. For up-to-date weather forecasts, check Weather.gov.

What to Wear

Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, so dressing in layers is essential. Even in summer, temperatures can drop, especially at higher altitudes. Wear a moisture-wicking base layer, a warm middle layer, and a waterproof outer layer. Sturdy, non-slip shoes are recommended for glacier landings.
