Times to Travel Temperatures are somewhat mild late May through early September and in the opinion of many, it's the best time to visit. Those (summer-like) weather conditions attract large crowds in the national parks in the south, and on the rugged Kenai Peninsula.
Winter in Alaska is also strongly recommended, as it's the season of northern lights, local festivals, wildlife viewing, outdoor activities including dog mushing, fishing, hunting, and some of the country's best cross-country and downhill skiing.
