Alaska is Just 15 Minutes from Anchorage

Kenai Lake.

That's a couple of sad looking bears.

What are you looking at?

If you work up some body heat with a good climb. Stay in the sun and out of the wind. Water freezes at higher temp under lower pressure if mountain high enough. Get acclimatized to it.

I've stripped to underwear in -20C after X-country skiing and not felt the chill. Just long enough to put dry clothes on though. X-country ski in a couple of light layers at that temp. Dress in survival suit to just stand around fishing.

Northern lights on my bucket list. Mouth of the Mackenzie river would be good vantage point.

Like Thor says, go right to Yellowknife
Its a neat little city
The place is flooded with Asian tourists during viewing season.

If you go before freezeup I think you can do a B&B on a couple of the houseboats in the bay

They have a tent city setup. Asians believe they believe in making babies under the northern lights...you can almost hear the bellies slapping together.
There is nothing at the mouth of the mackenzie..a bit east is Hay river but yellowknife is way better

Like Thor says, go right to Yellowknife

And be sure to frequent Bad Sam's at the Strange Range.

There's no place like The Range at 2am in January.

That one is all over the internet.......with misinformation about the ear tags.

Don't be ridiculous; that's obviously a man in a bear suit.
