Location: Alaska (Anchorage, Talkeetna, Denali, Fairbanks, Chena Hot Springs, Arctic Circle at Dalton Hwy.)
Go on an 11-day trip to see one of the most beautiful and fascinating places in the U.S., Alaska, the final frontier, and one of the most fascinating natural phenomena: The Midnight Sun.
We will be going exactly on Summer Solstice, which is the longest day of the year. In northern Alaska, above the Arctic Circle, that translates into 24 hours of the sun in the sky, even at midnight.
