Travel Note

Daylight

We will be about 5 weeks past summer solstice when you arrive. That means it will get dark for a little while in the middle of the night. Eye masks will come in handy if you are light sensitive. We’d also recommend crawling into bed with the shades closed an hour or two before you want to go to sleep.

Travel Note

Mosquitoes

Yup, we got em. You can pick up repellent in just about any store. They won’t be an issue for the wedding because we will be above the tree line and there is almost always a slight breeze. You will definitely want to wear it if you plan on walking any of the trails around Girdwood.

Travel Note

Clothing

Yes, you will be in Alaska during summer. No, the weather is not a given. You will want to bring layers. I’ve seen it in the 90’s on the 4th of July and I’ve seen it snow on the 4th of July (not likely). Reality will be somewhere in between. It might be sunny and warm, it might be cold and rainy but it will probably be partially cloudy and cool.
