When it comes to visiting any part of Alaska, including Kaktovik, a majority of the people assume that summer is the best time to do so because of the warm weather and the plethora of sightseeing opportunities that come with it. And then there are some who prefer the freezing winter months because it is when you get to see the elusive northern lights. Amidst all of it, the shoulder seasons get ignored, more specifically spring. Ask any native Alaskan, and they will tell you that spring is a great time to visit the last frontier of America.

And the amazing temperatures during these months is perfect for indulging in some outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing.
