Casea Peterson grew up archery hunting, fishing, and camping throughout the Pacific Northwest. Motivated by her love for the outdoors she moved to Alaska to attend school and to spend time exploring the last frontier. If she doesn’t have a pen in hand or her nose in a book, she can be found out on a lake or up in the woods around a fire with friends.
We all know that Alaska can get its fair share of rain during the summer months and, of course, ample amounts of snow during the winter months. So in order to keep your spirits high during those days when you feel like you’re going to go stir crazy from following the same routine, we’ve compiled a list of things you can do in Alaska, rain or snow, that will keep you sane. Some of these activities are indoor only while others get you outside in the elements, but don’t fear, if you don’t mind getting a little cold or wet then you might find a fun new activity for those days you need to get out of the house!
1) Take the whole family to one of the many museums around the state!
You can get to work on that driveway or walkway of yours. I'm sure in the winter months it needs the extra attention. Or you can be a good neighbor and do a community service by shoveling the drive of an elderly person living nearby. Now that's the spirit!
There's nothing wrong with some old fashioned board game family fun! I personally prefer Monopoly, but that's just me. If you don't like the G-rated fun you can always opt for drinking games, too.
Chances are if you're from Alaska you have some sort of outdoor hobby. Take this time to check and recheck your gear so you're well prepared for your next outing.
