American temperatures are given in degrees F, not
C. We have been to Alaska several times during
this period under consideration and have always
dressed in layers: a sweater and a windproof /
waterproof breathable covering jacket. Along with
some kind of head cover to keep the sun off. We've
had temperatures from 40 F to 90 F and enjoyed
them all.
Have a great trip,
