Alaska is the Northern-most state in the United States. The best time to visit Alaska is between June and August. Because of the large landmass, there are many temperature variations depending on where you travel. The more North the better the sunlight, with Anchorage receiving more than 19 hours of sunlight on the solstice and Fairbanks enjoying 22 hours. Climbing in Denali starts in April and May before the glacial snow becomes too slushy and rock-fall becomes too dangerous. Winter trips are becoming more popular every year. Tourists enjoy isolated towns and sled dog tours through remote areas.
