Creator's Key Takeaways

My biggest tip though is to bring an umbrella because it is going to be rainy season in Alaska.

So, you can leave the big puffy coats at home and just be prepared for sunshine and some downpours.

So, bring sunscreen and some good bug repellent. So, there are a lot of mosquitoes during that time.

It doesn't hurt cuz there will be a few times, mother nature's unpredictable that you will want to bring maybe lightweight gloves.
