When to Go
The best time to explore Alaska via helicopter is between May and September. During these months, the weather is more predictable, offering clearer skies and longer daylight hours. This period allows travelers to fully appreciate the breathtaking landscapes of the Chugach Mountains, Knik Glacier, and the Mat-Su Valley. It’s crucial to check current weather conditions before planning your trip to ensure optimal flying conditions.
What to Wear
Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, so dressing in layers is essential. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add an insulating layer, and finish with a waterproof outer layer. Sturdy boots are recommended for excursions on glaciers or alpine terrain. Don’t forget a warm hat and gloves, as temperatures can drop quickly, especially near glaciers like Knik Glacier.
