Alaska may be far to the North, but it’s not always cold.\u00a0 It can, however, be unpredictable.\u00a0 Pack for all weather with a couple of pairs of jeans, and at least one pair of shorts.\u00a0 On top, plan to layer – t-shirts and tank tops, light sweaters, and one warm jacket.\u00a0 Bring socks and good, comfortable boots – you’ll be doing a lot of hiking, and you need to protect your feet.\u00a0 If you’re planning on exploring some glaciers, bring a knit cap and a pair of gloves to protect against chill.\u00a0 No matter what, bring an extra day or two of clothes – with unpredictable weather, you may be in town a bit longer than expected!<\/p>\n
There’s a few things you’ll definitely need to bring.\u00a0 One of those is bug repellant.\u00a0 There isn’t a huge issue with biting insects in Alaska, but when you’re hiking along the island, you’ll run into mosquitos because of all the water.\u00a0 Also, don’t forget sunscreen!\u00a0 You may not be laying out on a tropical beach, but the sun is still strong here, and a sunburn will ruin a vacation.\u00a0 Put some on in the morning, and re-apply thoughout the day, particularly if you’re hiking near the shore.<\/p>\n
Make sure you bring your camera.\u00a0 Kodiak has some of the most gorgeous landscape in the country, and you’re definitely going to want pictures.\u00a0 You’ll also need to pack the charging cord and extra film or memory cards – you’ll be very upset if you run out of room on your camera after your second day in town!\u00a0 If you’re into wildlife, bring binoculars – you don’t want to get too close to the bears on the island, but you’ll still be able to get a good look; plus, you’ll be able to see birds more clearly as well, too.\u00a0\u00a0Pack a reusable water bottle – most of your time will be in national parks, and you don’t want to hurt the environment at the same time you’re admiring it!<\/p>\n
