# # # Northern Lights Season Begins in Alaska

The Northern Lights season is getting underway in Alaska, with the longer and darker nights of fall creating excellent opportunities to see the aurora. Fairbanks is one of Alaska's most popular bases for aurora viewing, thanks to its location under the auroral oval and relatively low light pollution.

The aurora season generally runs from late August through April, with clear, dark nights offering the best opportunities for viewing. For travelers planning an Alaska vacation, fall and winter provide a wonderful chance to combine Northern Lights viewing with other Alaska experiences.

If you are hoping to see the aurora in 2026 or 2027, we recommend planning ahead and allowing several nights in the Fairbanks area to increase your chances of a successful sighting.

🏔️ DENALI IS RECONNECTING! 🎉

After years of waiting, a major piece of the Denali Park Road is finally coming back.

A new bridge at Pretty Rocks is set to restore access across the massive landslide that damaged the road in 2021. Years of engineering and construction have gone into making it possible to once again travel deeper into Denali National Park.

For Alaska travelers, this is BIG news. ❤️

The Denali Park Road is one of the most spectacular ways to experience the park - with incredible mountain scenery, wildlife and the feeling of being truly deep in the Alaskan wilderness.

Full road access is expected to return in 2027. 🚍🏔️

The wait has been long, but Denali is getting ready to open its road to the west again!
