Alaska Winter Adventure
COUNTRIES VISITED:Alaska
PLACES VISITED:
SUGGESTED DURATION:8 Days
A couples winter getaway for 2 over Thanksgiving to Alaska. Flying from ATL to Fairbanks, Alaska. A trip full of history, culture and everything Alaska has to offer! From the famous auto museum and cultural center to ice fishing, hot springs, snowmobiling and walking with reindeer.. Alaska has so much to offer in the winter time! This couple wanted to do it all, so they have a busy schedule! Of course, no trip to Alaska is complete without the Northern Lights! This itinerary gives them ample time to enjoy the Aurora Lights, hoping that at least one of the nights nature will cooperate!

FINAL THOUGHTS
Such a fun trip to plan! The couple is excited about everything Alaska has to offer.Timing is essential during the winter days in Alaska, because the daylight hours are limited for activities and transportation is more limited than the warmer months.
