What's the best time to visit Alaska?

I’ve always wanted to visit the Last Frontier, so I’m planning to fly to Anchorage and rent a car. I just have no idea when to go. What’s one of the best times to visit Alaska?

That sounds like an exciting trip! The best time to visit
Alaska
is in the summer. While the state experiences almost perpetual daylight that can take you a few days to get used to, the weather is dry and temperatures stay in the 50s and 60s, which is about as warm as it gets in Alaska.
Some of the top summer attractions and events in Alaska include:
  • The Mt. Marathon Footrace over the Fourth of July
  • Glacier tours
  • The Kenai Fjords tour
  • Riding on the Alaska Railroad
  • Fairbanks Summer Art Festival in late July
While you can opt for the rental car company’s insurance, it’s far more expensive than if you just use your own policy. Explore your options with the
