When to come
Two trips, one place
Summer
Mid-June to mid-August
Daylight until almost midnight, open trails, the park buses running, and wildflowers everywhere.
Fall
Late August to September
The tundra turns red and gold, the crowds thin out, and the first dark nights bring the northern lights.
Winter
October to March
Snow, sled dogs, and the longest, darkest nights for the aurora. Cold, and worth it.
