WHEN VISITING ALASKA
Let me know if you have any questions!🏔️🌲🐻✨
🌲Aurora Viewing:
The best time to see the northern lights is September through March. During peak months, you might catch them every other night!
Tip: Go where there’s no light pollution, and plan to watch between 11 PM and 3 AM to see them dance. #northernlights
🌲Visit Denali:
The best time to visit is in the summer, especially June and July, when you can enjoy warm weather. Expect temperatures between 60–75°F. #denali
🌲Hike in Hatcher Pass:
This is a long hike, but worth it! You can find it on the AllTrails app. Choose a sunny day when it’s not raining, and if you’re feeling brave, take a dip in the water at the top! #hatcherpass
🌲Visit Talkeetna:
This charming little town is full of unique shops where you can pick up great travel gifts. Head down to the water for one of the best views of Denali! #talkeetnaalaska
🌲Ski/Snowboard at Alyeska Resort:
After two days of shredding the slopes, treat yourself to their new Nordic spa—it’s worth spending 2–3 hours there. #alyeska
🌲Cooper Landing:
Slaughter Ridge Hike is one of my favorites! Be prepared—it’s very steep, but the views are absolutely worth it. Watch for private property near the start of the trail.
🌲Panorama Pizza:
This spot has some of the best pizza you’ll ever try. It’s located along the Alaska Highway as you head north from Anchorage to Fairbanks. Enjoy their outdoor seating with stunning mountain views.
🌲Hidden Gem in Whittier:
Find this little pull-off in Whittier, walk through the trees, and discover a hidden spot with glacier-fed Blue Gatorade water. The vibrant color comes directly from the glacier above.
