Alaska Outdoor Summer Activities
Alaska is one of the most popular vacation destinations for the outdoor
enthusiast as well as your typical knickknack shopping tourist. Alaska
is a huge land loaded with unscathed wilderness as far as the eye
can see. It is a land abundant in culture, adventure, and beauty.
The long summers in the land of the Midnight Sun provide endless days
of summer sporting fun. Have you ever heard an umpire yell "Play
Ball!" in a ball park at 10:30 in the evening? There's a good
chance many of you have. But was the sun providing the light for the
players to see or was it numerous banks of high watt artificial lighting?
I'm guessing that it was the latter for most of you. During the Solstice,
you can watch a baseball game in Fairbanks under the sun at Midnight!
In the Far North, the days are endless. The sun will rise in the middle
of May, and won't set again until early August.
There are numerous activities to partake in during the summer months
in Alaska, and the long days give you more time to enjoy them. Whether
you're hiking Denali National Park or kayaking through Prince William
Sound, there will be memories to cherish forever. |
