Willow Tours & Activities | Discover Alaska Adventures

Willow is a little-known gem nestled in the heart of Alaska, offering breathtaking scenery, tranquil lakes, and an authentic northern wilderness experience. Perfect for travelers looking to escape the bustle of city life, this cozy village is a gateway to adventure and relaxation, surrounded by majestic mountains and endless forest trails.

A Brief Look Back

Originally established as a construction camp during the building of the Alaska Railroad, Willow blossomed into a quiet settlement among towering pines and sparkling rivers. Its growth surged with the influx of homesteaders in the 20th century, and today it’s best known as a key checkpoint on the famous Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

Best Time to Visit

While Willow is beautiful all year round, the warmer months between May and September attract visitors with mild temperatures and long daylight hours. Winter, on the other hand, reveals a snowy wonderland and prime opportunities for dog sledding and northern lights viewing.

How do I get there?

Willow is conveniently located along the Parks Highway, about 70 miles north of Anchorage. It’s accessible by car, making it a great stop on a road trip through Alaska.

What can I do in Willow?

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy activities like fishing, hiking, canoeing, and wildlife watching in the summer. Winter offers snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and a front-row seat to Alaska’s iconic dog sled races.
