Packing for Your Trip to Alaska

As the saying goes, “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a few minutes.” That couldn’t be truer than here in the Bristol Bay area of Southwest Alaska. Summer weather can vary from a sunny day in the mid-seventies to a cool, rainy day in the mid-forties. That’s why you should bring clothing that can be layered so you can add or subtract layers as the weather changes.
