What activities are necessary to travel to Alaska in August?

If you travel to Alaska in August, basic activities such as barbecue, watching animals and watching glaciers are essential.

At this time in August, it is the season when summer comes and autumn comes. If the weather is fine when you go, you can choose to barbecue there. Moreover, foreign barbecues are different from our domestic ones, and the taste will be more impactful. Every time you bake, you will put a large piece of meat directly on the shelf, and there are more ingredients. It is delicious with pizza, French fries, bread with jam, wine or coffee.

Or you can choose to see the glaciers. You can see them in May at 10, and you can't go the rest of the time because it is too cold. It's a good choice to go to Seward, an Alaskan glacier port town, which is basically more than two hours' drive from Anchorage. The scenery on this road is so beautiful that you can stop and take pictures at any time. If you like walking and playing, you can also stay in Seward for one night and go again the next day.

There is not much population here. To see the glaciers, you can directly sign up for the glacier cruise. You can see glaciers and all kinds of wild animals at close range. People who are seasick must take medicine in advance to ensure safety.

Then you can choose to go to Kenai Fjord National Park, which is close to Seward. But it's eight kilometers to and from here, and it's basically a day's walk. But the scenery you see on the way will be worthwhile, once in a lifetime, very challenging! At the top of the mountain, you can see the endless ice field, surrounded by continuous glaciers, and the scenery is spectacular.

If you like watching wild animals, go to Denari National Park, which is the highest mountain in North America. What you actually see will be more shocking than what you see on the postcard. If you want to go to the park, you can directly take the sightseeing bus operated by the park. If you go in August, you have a good chance to see bears, other animals and sheep or deer. Remember to bring binoculars to see better.
