The scenery in Alaska's interior speaks for itself. In any weather or season, it is always breathtakingly beautiful.
The Northern Lights are one of the biggest attractions to Alaska. The Interior provides excellent views of them, thanks to a lack of light pollution even around Fairbanks. But DO NOT come in the summertime and expect to see ANY Aurora. It is the land of the midnight sun for a reason. Summers in Fairbanks mean a complete lack of darkness, which is a really cool experience, but the Lights cannot be seen. If you want a good chance of seeing the Northern Lights but can't handle the cold, September is probably your best bet. The sun is still up for most of the day and it's still quite warm, but it gets quite dark at night and the Lights make their reappearance. Not only that, but the landscape in autumn is awash in all of the bright colors of the season and since most tourists stick to the summer months, you'll get a friendlier attitude from residents.
