The gift-giving season is upon us, and John Hall’s Alaska is aiming to make the holidays even brighter for those who dream of visiting Alaska in 2018.

With the recently updated version of its classic “Denali Explorer” tour and the addition of a second “Iditarod & Aurora Adventure” departure this winter, travelers now have a multitude of options for experiencing the best of Alaska at a discounted rate.

If travel to the Last Frontier doesn’t fit into your 2018 plans, spread the spirit of the 49th state with friends and loved ones with John Hall’s Alaska’s annual holiday gift guide.

Live Cams Around the State

Visitors to Alaska often have a lot of questions about the Last Frontier, wanting to know what it looks like and what they can see during their vacation.

There are actually a number of resources available to see what’s happening in Alaska right at this moment. For example, the Nome Convention and Visitors Bureau website has a live camera showing the town of Nome. If wildlife is on the mind, watch The Alaska Zoo’s polar bear camera or the famous brown bears of Katmai National Park.

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game website also lists other live cameras available.
