Tour while you work
Here’s a great alternative to our housing options if you have an RV: You can bring it along and hook it up at several of our lodges and guest services sites or other public and private facilities. After your seasonal job comes to a close in September, take a tour around Alaska before heading home. September is one of the best times to see Alaska – the weather is still inviting, and most of the crowds have gone home. Plus, you’ll have plenty of chances to explore the Great Land on your days off. Download our activity guides to any of our work locations. Read our Alaska activity guides to learn more about our work locations. They contain information on easy to challenging trails, activities like fishing and rafting, info about local towns and things to do such as golfing, day spas, glacier cruises and favorite pub-and-grub spots.
