When to go

Alaska's hottest season runs from June to late August. In these months, the days have the longest duration of the year (up to 20 hours of light) but prices are at their maximum and No Vacancy warnings are frequent. From September to November, there are the first significant drops in temperature and some tours no longer take place, but the autumnal landscape is much more photogenic than that of summer and the experience can prove to be genuine. Starting in mid-November, Alaska's interior reaches truly extreme freezing temperatures. Alaska Weather Services
