While our full aurora season ends tonight, we have created an extended Spring Aurora Quest to still take advantage of chances to see the aurora borealis even with shorter nights. It has all of the benefits of our regular northern lights tour, just not as long of a night! Book today because this special tour only lasts ten days!

The weather has been challenging around Anchorage lately, but it's still aurora-viewing season! When the weather is marginable, we will run the tour "At Guest's Discretion" - which means we let the guests decide if they want to take a chance. Our group earlier this week decided to give it a shot, and guide Erica was able to find a window in the clouds for some spring aurora viewing!

March lived up to its reputation with being the most active month for aurora activity. We had several nights with colorful, active displays. Our guides and guests also had a lot of fun with some creative portraits as well. It was a team effort that led to a month of great fun for our guests.

We were excited to participate in the Alaska Travelgram Summer Showcase at the Alaska Native Heritage Center in Saturday. With spring breakup in full swing, it was easy to see summer in our grasp. Thanks to everyone who came by and visited us at our table!

The team has been doing a little traveling to spread the word about what we do at Alaska Photo Treks. Last weekend, office manager Anna was in Seattle, and this weekend, owner Carl was in Vancouver - both for the Holland America Line Alaska Cruise & Travel Show. We have for many years provided shore excursions to Holland America guests visiting Anchorage and it was great to meet with travelers to talk to them in advance of their journeys. Here are some photos from the Vancouver show.

We had perhaps our first-ever lunar eclipse/aurora borealis tour! We timed the pick ups of our guests so they could be out in the field for the totality of the eclipse, at a location where they could see it. They enjoyed a great double-shot of astronomical wonder at a location with clear skies north of Anchorage. Thanks to guides Chad and Erica for getting some great photos of these natural wonders and of our guests enjoying the view!

We have been battling clouds lately, but been able to find success on the nights we have gone out. March is historically the most active month for aurora activity, with a daily Kp average of 3.07 at 9.55 geomagnetic storms (on average) over the month. So, far, the aurora has not been disappointing for our Anchorage Aurora Quest guests!

And that's a wrap on our late winter Yukon-Brooks Range trip! In addition to the aurora borealis displays that our group enjoyed, they explored the beauty of the Brooks Range landscapes in winter and enjoyed several encounters with birds of the region.

After two nights of moderate aurora displays first near the Yukon River and then near Wiseman, our Brooks Range trip group had a long day yesterday up to Galbraith Lake to explore the mountain landscapes in the day time. The goal was to follow the aurora at that northern location southward. The group had had success with an aurora show that went on for hours, producing many amazing shapes and patterns. The half moon added some light to the landscape.

After breakfast at Yukon River Camp, our group fueled up and continued to Wiseman today. Along the way, they spent quality time exploring the snow drifts at Finger Mountain and made a quick stop at the Arctic Circle sign.

Our multi-day trip that includes the Yukon River and Brooks Range kicked off on Saturday. Owner Carl drove with some guests up to Fairbanks to meet up with the rest of the group. After a delicious dinner at Lavelle’s Bistro, the group went out to photograph the World Ice Art Chamionships. Today, they drove up to Yukon River Camp where they will stay the night to photograph the aurora over frosty trees. Tomorrow, they continue on to Wiseman.

We have been working hard to get the word out about Alaska Photo Treks to different markets. Owner Carl had the pleasure of attending the Icelandair Mid-Atlantic tradeshow in late January in Reykjavik. Visit Anchorage hosted a luncheon, where Carl was able to share why he loves Alaska.  Then he had a busy schedule with 20 appointments meeting with travel agents who are interested in bringing customers up to Alaska.

During the recent Alaska Adventure Experience: Anchorage, sponsored by Visit Anchorage and Travel Alaska, we had the pleasure of hosting six travel agents to experience our daytime winter tour, the Anchorage Winter Wonderland tour. Fortunately, their timing was perfect and we had a clear, cold, wintery day, with beautiful ice formations and Alaska's most-famous fox! It was a real treat to show these travel professionals, who predominantly book summer cruises and land cruise packages, what a delight our winters can be!
