What to expect when traveling in Alaska
Welcome to the Last Frontier!  Many road atlases make our state look smaller than the state of Rhode Island, but Alaska is more than three times the size of Texas.  Seeing the all of Alaska in one short visit is virtually impossible.  Have you noticed the lack of roads in the state?  This makes travel even more of a challenge.  Because we have very few four- lane highways and traffic can be heavy, your average driving speed may be slower than you expect.

We dress very casual in Alaska.  Jeans are always acceptable and flannel is always in season.  Our average summer temperature is about 65 degrees.  Dress in layers and always have a hooded raincoat along.  Rain doesn’t stop outdoor activities here, we just put up our hood and keep going.  A fishing guide friend even claims that fishing is better in the rain.
