Excellent gear - Warm winter parkas, snowpants and winter boot rentals from Alaska Outdoor Gear Rental. Many options & sizes to choose from. We were worried about the temperatures and what we needed. We returned to the Pike hotel which was helpful and saved us time. The aurora was amazing. Book in advance- your hotel, car, winter clothing rentals. March is a very busy month. We enjoyed a day trip to Denali National park to snowshoe and hike and many nights of aurora viewing. We were very warm! Chena Hot Springs is a must.
