Alaska- Packing List

what to pack for alaska sarah bowmar
×

So you’re going to Alaska- first off, I am jealous. Second- I am sure you are stressing about what to pack. It’s Alaska after all, isn’t it snowing the entire time? Let’s dive into what you should pack for the trip of a lifetime!

My Alaska Experience

June 2017- Alaskan Cruise – blog and youtube video 

August 2018- Caribou hunt 45 miles north of the Arctic Circle

June 2019- Copper Center / Valdez

May 2021- Family Trip to Anchorage, Valdez, and Denali- blog

As you can see from the above list, I have done a lot in Alaska during various times throughout the summer. This list is only based on my experience and I highly recommend looking at the weather the day before you leave for the most up-to-date information on where you are planning on being and what you are planning on doing. Each time we have been, we have done a large amount of hiking as well as fishing, exploring, dinners, etc. The days can be random and the weather can change in an instant so I do recommend a lot of layers and some planning ahead in case the weather turns south on you.

Please refer to the itinerary blog listed above for our last trip’s details to see if this list would suit you!

    Favor – do you mind sharing where you purchased your aztec print shacket from your Alaska trip? Love the color combo and style of it.
