Alaska nights are incredibly cold and long in the winter but the beauty is unimaginable. The sunsets in the fall made for some incredible photography opportunities and the auroras in the winter were like a river flowing through the sky.
The beautiful views seemed endless in Alaska with mountains, rivers, beautiful ice formations, and the sky that was always filled with color.
The sky almost looks painted as the sun sets behind a row of aircraft.
The small towns and incredible beauty should put Alaska at the top of any travelers list of places to see.
The auroras are visible most nights during the winter and most commonly appear in green but you may be lucky enough to see whites, yellows, or reds.
Summer in Alaska has its own special qualities to it but traveling to the arctic north in the winter is an experience you will cherish for the rest of your life.
