When to Go

Summer months (June to August) provide extended daylight and milder temperatures, ideal for exploring glaciers and alpine landscapes. Fall brings vibrant foliage and the chance to witness the Northern Lights. For accurate weather updates, refer to weather.gov and plan accordingly.
What to Wear
Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, so layering is essential. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, followed by insulating mid-layers and a waterproof outer shell. Sturdy, waterproof boots are recommended for glacier landings. Don’t forget gloves, a hat, and sunglasses to protect against the sun’s glare on snow and ice.
