What is a hidden gem that you should see in Alaska?
Alaska has so many beautiful places, but some are in spots that only the locals know about. The remote area of Pasagshak Bay on Kodiak Island is a popular spot for locals, especially ones who know how to surf! You can only get to this beach by a long car ride, although you’ll drive through some beautiful scenery on Kodiak Island. You can even catch a glimpse of a whale or two while you munch on your picnic lunch and watch the surfers catch the waves.
What is the best month to visit Alaska?
It depends on what you’ve come to do. If you want to ski, snowboard, or snowshoe in the backcountry, make sure you’re heading out here in January or February. February is a great month for winter sports and activities because the aurora borealis is out, the days are much longer and sunnier, and the temperatures are slightly warmer. In the summer time June is a wonderful time to visit because the animals have just come out of hibernation and the weather is gorgeous. Around June 21st you’ll have summer solstice, which is a big holiday in this amazing state.
