Experience the awe-inspiring sensation of seeing the Northern Lights up close in the tranquil surroundings of the Alaskan wilderness!
The Northern Lights, otherwise known as the are mystical and scientific phenomena that light up the northern skies in enchanting dancing ribbons of green and purple, and to see them in person is truly the experience of a lifetime! During this nighttime snowshoe hike with Adventures by True North AK, you will be able to combine the fun of snowshoeing with the incredible atmosphere of the Northern Lights shimmering above you to create unforgettable memories of your time in Anchorage!
Your nighttime snowshoe hike and Northern Lights viewing tour will start with a pick-up from your accommodation in Anchorage. From there, you will be driven out of the city and away from the light pollution to the peaceful Alaskan wilds. Once you arrive at the destination you will be given a safety and activity briefing before getting equipped with snowshoes. From there you will trek under the velvet cloak of darkness towards a clearing in the skies where you can view the extraordinary star cover and Northern Lights.
Once your guide finds the perfect spot, they will set up a tent with blankets for you to relax and stargaze from while you enjoy the provided snacks and hot drinks. After some time spent relaxing under the Northern Lights you will then enjoy a snowshoe hike back to the shuttle where you will be bundled back into the van and driven back to Anchorage.
Book your Northern Lights snowshoe hike departing from Anchorage now and experience the true magic of Alaska!
