Experience the Northern Lights in a whole new way

The beauty of nature is you cannot control it. Instead, nature can take total control over you. It will take you from one end of the planet to the other one. It can make you fall in love or it can make you hate it. It can make you breathless or it can make you mad. Northern lights tours in Willow, Alaska will make you remember that.

What should I wear?

Some good things to wear on this tour would be layers. Meaning wearing multiple pants, shirts underneath each other, warm hat, and multiple socks to keep the wind and temperatures out.

  • Heated Jacket, heated gloves, heated apparel. (optional but very warm) (www.ororowear.com)
  • Insulated snow pants*
  • Gloves
  • High Socks
  • Something to cover your face
  • Make sure your entire body is covered (Hat, gloves, pants, ect.)
  • Boots with good traction

My #1 recommended snow boot:

Living in Alaska, I have hiked in various terrains, deep snow, high mountains, thick mud. I've tried many different boots and this particular boot I live by. I love it because it is waterproof, if the boot gets wet it dries quickly and its extremely difficult for your feet to get wet or uncomfortable.

  • Columbia Fairbanks Omni-Heat Snow-Boot

We have a saying in Alaska that "there is no bad weather, only bad gear."

Some recommended brands we love:

  • Carhartt
  • Patagonia
  • Ororo Heated Apparel
  • REI
  • The North Face
  • Columbia
