dshorterExperience Autumn in Alaska
- Autumn is a slim season in Alaska, peaking out between the broad shoulders of summer and winter. It may be shy, but it has power. There are fewer travelers in the fall. Bears haven’t hibernated yet, so you’re more likely to get a glimpse of them. And, your local adventure guides might feel more relaxed in autumn than during prime, tourist season. Hang with the locals!
- It’s a well-kept secret, but there is a short, peak time of leaf-peeping in Alaska. The colors are as brilliant as they are elsewhere, but they don’t slowly fade over a matter of months. Poof! They are brilliant. Then, they stay ablaze until snow blankets their reds and golds.
- By mid-September, the skies begin getting dark enough that you’ve got a good shot at seeing the Aurora Borealis from Anchorage. Stay three or four nights—the longer you stay, the more time you have to spend under their surreal lights. If you want to shop for regional art, you’re likely to get good buys in the fall. Autumn is Alaska’s secret, and it’s waiting for your arrival.
Explore the possibilities. Any of these, and more, could be yours.
