Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Bettles?
The best time to go to Bettles depends entirely on what you'd like to experience, with clear distinctions between the summer and winter seasons.

If you're keen to experience the midnight sun, wildlife, and outdoor activities like hiking or fishing, the summer months from late May to early September are ideal. During this period, the days are long, with nearly 24 hours of daylight around the summer solstice in June, allowing for extended exploration of the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. Temperatures are milder, typically ranging from 10°C to 20°C, making for comfortable conditions for activities like river trips or flightseeing tours over the Brooks Range.

For those dreaming of seeing the Northern Lights and experiencing a true Arctic winter, the period from late September to March is best. The darker skies and colder temperatures, often dropping well below freezing, create optimal conditions for aurora viewing. Winter activities include dog sledding, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. Travellers interested in the aurora should aim for the darkest months, typically from November to February, to maximise their chances.
