15 images that prove fall is the best time to visit Alaska

2. Chandalar Shelf, 130 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

The Chandalar Shelf is situated about 130 miles north of the Arctic Circle just above the tree line. Fall is very short here; usually lasting from the last week in August through the first week in September. So of course I had to head up there last weekend and catch it before it was covered in snow! ??? ? ? ? ? ? #Alaska #Explore #ExploreAlaska #Travel #Nature #Landscape #InteriorAlaska #LoveAlaska #TheAlaskaLife #ArcticLife #TheArctic #AlaskaFall #Fall #Autumn #Weather #ItsAmazingOutThere #skyporn #cloudporn #49thState #Mountains #⛰ #? #September #Tundra #FallColors #FallColours #? #? #Chandalar #DaltonHighway

6. Finger Moutain, 17 miles south of the Arctic Circle.

Finger Mountain sits just 17 miles (27km) south of the Arctic Circle, but at an altitude of 1312' (400m) is well above the tree line. It is covered in tundra, which turns the most amazing colors in late August for Fall. It didn't hurt that this day was beautiful, either ?. ??? ? ? ? ? ? #Alaska #Explore #ExploreAlaska #Travel #Nature #Landscape #InteriorAlaska #LoveAlaska #TheAlaskaLife #ArcticLife #TheArctic #AlaskaFall #Fall #Autumn #Weather #ItsAmazingOutThere #49thState #Mountains #⛰ #? #September #Leaves #FallFoliage #? #? #Tundra #FingerMountain #ArcticCircle

14. The Train over Hurricane Gulch

The Hurricane Turn Winter Train is an idyllic way to see beautiful fall scenery along the Railbelt, like this shot over Hurricane Gulch. The train runs the first Thursday of each month from October – May so guests can explore the Alaska backcountry no matter the season. #alaskarailroad #hurricaneturn #alaskafall #traintravel #choochoo #fallcolors #Alaska
