An Alaskan view of the aurora

Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours and Alaska Snow Safaris are teaming up to offer a new winter adventure, the Northern Lights Expedition.

The multi-day snowmobile tour takes travellers deep into the lake country of the Mat-Su Valley.

Guests spend the night in a cozy lodge on the Yentna River offering all the amenities of a full-service hotel and in prime positioning for northern lights viewing.

Options for ice fishing are also available; an activity that often catches the attention of bald eagles in the area.

The Mat-Su Valley presents a multitude of winter recreation options, from ice fishing and snowmobiling to dog sledding and some of the earliest pre-season skiing in the country. For more information, visit youralaskavacation.com.
