WEATHER and CLOTHING:
Summer in South Central Alaska ranges from the mid 50’s to the mid 70’s F. We always prepare for rain and wind. Even though it may be nice in Anchorage, it is not uncommon for the Portage area to be colder and cloudier. When you are close to the glacial ice on the Portage Glacier Cruise, it will be colder, even on a sunny day. There is plenty of room in our vans to bring an extra jacket, hat and, depending on your tolerance levels, gloves for the cruise. It’s always advisable to wear sunglasses and bring sunscreen and insect repellent.
