Northern Lights during the North to Alaska HOP, 2024. Photo by Rebecca Betts
Escapees Experience the Northern Lights
From the end of February to the beginning of March, Escapees traveled to Alaska for one of Mother Nature's best shows- the Aurora Borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights.
Not only did they see beautiful shades of green, yellow, and pink dancing across the night sky, they experienced dog sled rides, reindeer petting, an ice bar with amazing ice sculptures, and more. While it happened to be many degrees below zero, the smiles on these Escapees' faces could warm any heart.
Want to experience Alaska with your Escapees family? Join us for the Alaska Outdoor Adventure: Bears and Glacier HOP, July 11-19, 2025!
