Today is Winter Solstice, the last day that darkness triumphs over the light! Thursday, December 21, 2023 at 6:27 PM is when the sun stops! Technically, winter solstice is the beginning of the astrological winter in the Northern Hemisphere. For me, the winter solstice just means a little more light every day!
Join us at Alaska Backcountry Cottages where you can watch the snowflakes dance in the crisp, frigid air and the sun barely grazes the horizon, On the shortest day of the year, the Alaskan landscape transforms into a serene winter wonderland, where nature paints a picturesque scene of tranquility. Our cozy cottages, surrounded by snow-covered pines and majestic mountains, offer a perfect sanctuary for indulging in the Solstice’s quiet beauty. Imagine waking up to panoramic views of the frost-kissed wilderness right outside your window, savoring a cup of hot cocoa while the world bathes in the soft glow of the fleeting daylight.
