Northern Lights are a phenomenon best seen in person. The destinations, to do so, are limited on when and where you can see these amazing skies. Winter season is the predominant time-frame. Alaska, for many Americans, is a great option - no passport required. The itinerary provided is an overall trip outline that highlights some main attractions of this rugged land. We also list some ideas of things to do in the towns that you visit. Most towns have "Visitor Information Centers", where you can find detailed information about local events and markets as well as current available activities. This itinerary maps out a great route from Anchorage north to Fairbanks, with the goal of maximizing the opportunities to witness the Northern Lights.
