Tourism in Alaska usually doesn't pick up until after May, but there are so many reasons to experience the state's stunning natural wonders in the Spring.
"Most people might not initially think of Alaska as a Spring break option, however, this is actually the time when you should go," Saglie told us. "Alaska's Northern Lights season is between mid-September and late April, peaking in March. There's also plenty of other activities such as dog sledding, climbing Manatuska Glacier, and more."
Just be sure to pack your heavy coat, as average temperatures in March still fall between the 20-30 degree mark!
