As the most well-traveled cat I know, I can say with confidence that Alaska is an exceptionally beautiful place to visit in summer. In addition to endless days, the entire state is overrun with wildlife, including a plethora of birds (a fact deeply appreciated by most traveling cats). Despite its beauty, however, Alaska continues to fly under the radar of the mainstream travel industry, making it an excellent destination for introverted cats like me. These are just a few of the reasons that I personally love to visit Alaska in summer. Let’s look at what else this great state has to offer!

Everyone knows that cats prefer warm temperatures, but I am here to tell you that a well-executed winter trip satisfies a deep-seated sense of adventure that all slow traveling cats secretly harbor. The truly brave cats that venture into the Alaskan winter are sure to be rewarded with a truly unforgettable experience! Like most cats, you may be wondering how to stay warm in the winter season. Do not fear, I have carefully observed Michele, my faithful travel companion for all of her tips and tricks on what to wear in Alaska in winter.

As a traveling cat, one thing that constantly piques my curiosity is the concept of clothing. Michele, my eternally optimistic travel companion, seems to be obsessed with purchasing new articles of clothing and then combining them in different ways depending on where we are traveling. This strange obsession becomes most pronounced when she is deciding what to wear in Alaska in summer. 

Slow traveling cats get the honor of experiencing our favorite places outside of the typical tourist seasons. Last summer I watched as crowds of tourists flocked to Alaska to relish long days and beautiful nature. As the snow began to fall, however, they all retreated to the lower 48. Now all cats know that when crowds start to dissipate, the real fun begins! Wintertime is when Alaska really shines as a unique travel experience. Like all good cats, the locals have adapted to extreme conditions while maintaining a deep connection to nature. Are you adventurous enough to plan a trip during the winter season? Read on for the best winter activities in Alaska.

Alaska is the perfect place for traveling cats that love adventure! As a cat, I particularly love the abundance of wildlife that Alaska has to offer as well as the varied outdoor experiences. Everyone knows that cats love to be outside and, for that, there is no greater place than the lovely state of Alaska. Having extensively explored this state, my human travel companion and I have learned a lot about the best places to visit. Together, we have crafted the perfect 10 day Alaska Itinerary, complete with variations for different seasons.

Ah, the joy of being a cat and finding the coziest spots imaginable! Picture me, nestled purrfectly next to a crackling fireplace, warming my paws after a playful romp in the snow. But, this is just the beginning of what’s possible on a trip during winter in Alaska. As it turns out, this great state offers a delightful array of festivals and outdoor winter adventures, just waiting to satiate your curious nature.

Are you a slow traveling cat that likes to travel in style? Then an Alaskan cruise in May is probably right up your alley! Like all cats, I appreciate the finer things in life. Lounging on a cruise ship, while watching Alaska transform from Spring to Summer is right at the top of my list! But how does one prepare for such a journey? I’m glad you asked! Read on to learn how to build your perfect packing list for Alaska cruise in May. 

Chena Hot Springs, near Fairbanks, is a truly Alaskan experience. Chena is best known for its natural hot springs and hotel. However, there is so much to this destination it’s landed a spot in my top Alaskan experiences of all time.

All cats know the best way to see Alaska is from the water, and a boat tour of the Kenai Fjords National Park is a fantastic option to do so. Traveling cats love this boat tour because of the abundance of wildlife, including sea birds like the adorable tufted puffin. Your human will also find plenty of reasons to enjoy this excursion, including a heated boat and stunning views of some of Alaska’s massive tidewater glaciers. 

Glacier Bay National Park is a great place for curious cats. Being an exceptionally curious feline myself, I found the wide variety of plants and animals to be particularly satisfying. While Glacier Bay is the 6th largest national park in the US, the areas for hiking and exploration by boat and relatively contained. This means that you can get a great experience of both the land and sea of Glacier Bay in a short visit. Read our Glacier Bay Review to learn how you and your human can make the most of your visit.
