WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT ALASKA?

Every summer month has something special to recommend it:  late May and early June may still have snow on the ground and fewer leaves on the trees.  This makes spotting wildlife (with their Spring newborns) easier.  Late June and July feature stupendous wildflowers (including our famous fireweed) and, generally, warmer temperatures.  This time period also offers the opportunity to experience Alaska's midnight sun.  Berries are the stars of August visits to Alaska - and with berries, come the bears who eat them.  Visitors in late August may be able to glimpse the first displays of the Northern Lights of the fall season, as well as the beautiful fall colors starting to spread across the tundra.

Those wishing to experience the "real" Alaska should travel with us on one of our winter itineraries.  We provide the arctic winter gear; you provide a sense of adventure.
