WHEN TO VISIT
Different seasons
mean different
activities and
adventures.
GRANTED,
WE'RE
BIASED.
WE THINK
ANY TIME
IS A GOOD
TIME TO
VISIT
ALASKA!

SHOULDER SEASON SHOULDER SEASON
SUMMER WINTER SPRING FALL
This is a great time to
be outdoors: hiking,
fishing, boating,
wildlife viewing, and
just having fun under
the midnight sun.
The long days and
warmer temperatures
are perfect for
outdoor activities.
ALASKA PRO TIP:
dress in layers
Tour operators and
businesses often
have special rates
during this time.
Dark skies at night
mean stars and
northern lights.
Businesses getting
ready for summer
offer early season
discounts.
Fall is harvest time.
From fish and game
to wild berries,
Alaskans are
celebrating nature's
bounty.
Spring is wildlife
migration time, and
cruise lines are just
starting their Alaska
season.
Snowmachining,
fat-tire biking, skiing,
and dog mushing
are great winter
activities.
