The best time to go to Fort McPherson is during the summer months, from late June to early September, when the weather is mildest and daylight hours are longest.
During this period, temperatures average between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F), making outdoor activities comfortable. The extended daylight, with nearly 24 hours of sun around the summer solstice, allows for ample time to explore the region's natural beauty and participate in local events. This is ideal for travelers looking to experience the Midnight Sun and engage in activities like hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing.
For those interested in experiencing traditional Gwich'in culture and community events, the summer is also the best time. Many local festivals and gatherings take place when the weather permits outdoor celebrations, offering a unique opportunity to connect with the local heritage.
