For info on other tours, email me at info@Ottsworld.com<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">I first traveled to Alaska in the summer, as most people do. I fell in love with the people and the landscape &#8211; I personally think it&#8217;s America&#8217;s most beautiful state and consistently falls in my top 5 places to visit in the entire world. I was always intrigued about how people lived there in the winter and what they did, so much so that I did my first Alaska winter trip in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s when I really fell in love with Alaska in the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, I&#8217;ve been back three more times, and it gets better each time! As I have shared my adventures there, I consistently get asked by readers to set up an Alaska winter tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve finally found a company that I wanted to work with, Salmonberry Tours, that fits my travel mentality and could help me put a customized tour together!  This Alaska winter tour includes the best and most unique winter experiences Alaska has to offer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69b9325051512\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69b9325051512\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/alaska-winter-tour\/#Why_Alaska_in_the_Winter\" >Why Alaska in the Winter?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/blogs\/alaska-winter-tour\/#Aurora_Viewing_%E2%80%93_Why_Go_in_2025\" >Aurora Viewing &#8211;

After all, it&#8217;s the coldest, snowiest, and most remote destination in the United States.&nbsp; But I&#8217;m not like most people.&nbsp; I like to travel to the remote corners of our globe because that&#8217;s where you find the most epic experiences and environments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most people dream of beaches to escape winter in February, I dream of the northern lights, sled dogs, hot chocolate, and snow-capped mountains. Winter in Alaska is when you find the real Alaskans, the full-timers, and the heartiest of locals. You&#8217;ll have the chance to meet them and spend time with this hearty bunch when you travel with me.  <\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image47484_7627d0-67 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image47484_7627d0-67 is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Alaska-winter-2-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-57457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Alaska-winter-2-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Alaska-winter-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Alaska-winter-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Alaska-winter-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Alaska-winter-2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aurora_Viewing_%E2%80%93_Why_Go_in_2025\"><\/span>Aurora Viewing &#8211; Why Go in 2025<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The northern lights are so prolific in the Fairbanks region and the Arctic that visitors who stay a minimum of three nights and are actively out during the late evening hours increase their chance of seeing the aurora to more than 80 percent! And that&#8217;s exactly why we&#8217;ll have 3 nights of aurora chasing in Fairbanks to start off the trip! Plus, there are good chances we&#8217;ll see the lights in Talkeetna and Glacier View.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, scientists have forecasted that the next peak of solar activity (the solar maximum) will be reached in July 2025. As we approach the solar maximum, we&#8217;ll start to see more intense and more frequent aurora. So this even increases our chances further to see some spectacular aurora displays.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery

Located on the edge of Denali National Park and nestled in a small stand of spruce forest, we&#8217;ll stop at Moondog Kennel &#8211; home to the friendliest group of working sled dogs around! Hailing from traditional freighting genetics and directly related to the Denali Park Kennel, Brian and Courtney will share with you what life on the tundra is all about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy a sled dog meet and greet, and cozy up on the couch with snacks and a group of retired dogs as you learn about the importance of freighting dogs and the history of the Denali area. You&#8217;ll gain a better understanding of the lives of local mushers in interior Alaska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If time permits, we&#8217;ll also stop at the Denali National Park Visitor Center and talk to the ranger about wintertime in the national park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arrive in the small town of Talkeetna and get cozy in your cabin! Here, we can also look for northern lights down by the river &#8211; a short walk from the cabins.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery.kb-gallery-wrap-id-47484_867c6a-06{overflow:hidden;}.kb-gallery-id-47484_867c6a-06 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius,

Stop in at Nagley&#8217;s and meet Aurora &#8211; the feline mayor! Enjoy the museum and learn all about climbing Denali and the history of the region. Enjoy the shops along Main Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we&#8217;ll visit the home of an Iditarod champion (he won last year!), Dallas Seavey, and tour his kennel of active sled dogs. The tour begins at the kennel headquarters overlooking the dog yard and snowy boreal forest you&#8217;ll mush through. Highlights include the hook-up, sled driving demo, and a six-mile mush on the same trails that Dallas trains with his Iditarod team. This time, you won&#8217;t simply be riding &#8211; you will be mushing your own team of dogs! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each two guests will share a dog sled and a dog team of Alaskan huskies for your mini-expedition! For the first half of your ride, you will guide your team through the silent, snow-capped birch and spruce forest; the only sounds are paws pounding, the sled&#8217;s runners gliding across the snow, and the occasional excited bark. Many photo opportunities will be available as you visit replica Iditarod checkpoints and race to the finish line under the burled arch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After your ride, join us for a tour of the homestead and kennel operations, as well as time with the younger husky puppies. Make sure you take plenty of photos with the future Iditarod champions before they&#8217;re famous! Finish this unique experience back at Kennedy headquarters, where you meet other members of the professional mushing team and warm up with cookies and hot drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the weather permits, there will be a chance to go on a flightseeing tour of Denali! This is an optional activity, and approximately $375 per person should be budgeted. For those interested, we&#8217;ll check the weather for today and tomorrow for a possible flight!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery

I fell in love with Alaska\u2026.the place and its people!&nbsp;&nbsp;It was all so magical, from seeing the aurora borealis, to snowshoeing in the peaceful, spruce and birch forests, to hiking on a glacier, and actually mushing dogs and dog sledding!!&nbsp;&nbsp;There was a peace there I had been looking for.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was definitely a trip I will remember forever!!&nbsp;&nbsp;I am eternally grateful to Sherry for sharing her knowledge of this place. &nbsp;I look forward to other trips Sherry may share, as I know they will be exceptional!!&#8221; &#8211; <strong>Debbie<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;The winter Alaska trip with Sherry Ott was over the top in all respects, ie incredible&nbsp;guides, amazing meals and off the charts scenery.&nbsp; The tour company, Salmonberry is a first class operation.&nbsp; This adventure was neck and neck with the top ones of my lifetime!&#8221; &#8211; <strong>George<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image47484_1d4246-3c .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image47484_1d4246-3c size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Alaska-winter-49-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-57476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Alaska-winter-49-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Alaska-winter-49-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Alaska-winter-49-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ottsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Alaska-winter-49.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Led_by_Salmonberry_Tours\"><\/span>Led by Salmonberry Tours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes this &#8216;Ottsworld&#8217; worthy? I must confess that I am sort of a travel snob. I don\u2019t like to do the \u2018expected\u2019 or see the typical sights; I like to seek out the unusual and less traveled (which is why I love to go to Alaska in the winter!). I\u2019ve worked very closely with Salmonberry Tours to put together an itinerary that impresses even me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salmonberry is a local Alaska company, women-owned, and Alaska experts! And best of all, they are small but mighty. I love supporting small, local operators when I travel &#8211; and I think you&#8217;ll love them too. They only hire guides who grew up in Alaska &#8211; no transplants &#8211; they are experts on the terrain, wildlife, and culture of the state. They will be our guide and driver as we explore the winter wonderland!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Extensions_%E2%80%93_Iditarod_Alaska_train_travel_and_more\"><\/span>Extensions &#8211; Iditarod, Alaska train travel, and more!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also easily extend your trip on either end and spend more time in a specific area, or I&#8217;m happy to suggest additional activities. Salmonberry has a number of additional day tours and great things to do around the area, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2025 Iditarod is starting shortly after our tour concludes on February 26th!

With gorgeous mountain and glacier views, solitude is looking pretty good in this northern state. I constantly find unique things to do in Alaska.
