You are putting me in the mood

Was the cold bearable? I’m from SC so I’m so nervous I’m gonna be miserably cold

[@blacksprucecabinak]

I am from Ohio so to me, yes. The key is dressing in layers. You don't want to be so bundled up that you sweat because that will make you cold. You definitely need a base layer on top and bottom. A windproof coat and boots are everything. Are you going to Fairbanks in winter?

@@blacksprucecabinak yes! I’m going this December😳💨🥶

Hi! I am planning this same trip for winter 2022 and was wondering if you had any tips on getting it all organized! I appreciate any and all help! Thank you!

[@blacksprucecabinak]

Sure, I stayed at an airbnb beach house which was very cool and I flew at Allegiant which was super cheap make sure you take the sunset the sunset cruise because you'll learn a lot about they the island and the history and it is beautiful. It's a very casual laid back place.

I am sorry. I think I may have comments as incorrectly. I thought you were asking about about a different trip. My answer probably didn't make sense.

Was taking the winter train worth it? I want to take the train from Anchorage to Fairbanks but my aunt told me the 12-hr ride is not worth it because I won’t be able to see much scenery since it will be dark winter. How much daylight did you get in February when you went?

[@blacksprucecabinak]

It was totally worth it! It was snowing like crazy in Fairbanks but the sun was out in Talkeetna and Denali came out and it's full glory! We saw over 30 moose. The ride was beautiful and totally worth it. I would think kids would get bored but I stared out the window the entire time and took tons of pictures.

@@blacksprucecabinak awesome! Very good luck to see Denali in the winter. Thank you for replying!! I’ll definitely consider taking the winter train when I go ☺️
