Last time I was in Alaska it was -34 degrees Fahrenheit. It was a work trip to Clear AFS. I spend time in fairbanks and spend a few day trips to north Pole. What beautiful country to visit. Denali National park is awesome even at that time of year.
Got hands on tour of University of Alaska and the HAARP heater facility.
I know all about the conspiracy theories on that one.
But is all in my line of work.
I've also been to Thule Greenland but Alaska is just so beautiful any time of year. Loved the fact that you can pull into any shopping mall and find engine block plug in's for diesels. Of course at those temps it was well needed. And only -35 in October I can't imagine it being colder. But It was a work trip and not camping.
And the crows are respected spiritually by the people. I visited eielson afb and fort_wainwright

Enjoy your time there but be prepared to move further south camping in a few months.
