Trinity is an aspiring model I had the pleasure of shooting with in November 2008 in Anchorage, Alaska. This was my first shoot with Trinity and also my first experience with Strobist lighting – I really liked both; I’d love to get better with Strobist and also do more shooting with Trinity.

Question by BREAD: What is the weather like early July in Alaska?
I am taking the Inside Passage Cruise to Alaska July 4, 2009. We are sailing on the Golden Princess. Has anyone taken this cruise?

Answer by dumbzaa
I haven’t take the cruise because I already live here. The weather changes rapidly in Alaska about 65 degrees ambiant temp is about normal in 2004 Juneau had 42 days of temperature over 70 degrees. Southeast Alaska is quite balmy compared to the rest of Alaska, it gets colder obviously the more North you go but you won’t be going that far North. just hope you don’ cruise up on a rainy or stormy day.

Nice warm color tones on the mountain.
The weather will change a lot during your cruise. The farther north you go up the Inside Passage, the greater chance that you will see some wind and rain. I’ve seen a few 80+ degree days in Juneau in the summer, but I’ve also seen some chilly ones. Alaska is very big and encompasses more than one type of climate. If your cruise goes up into Glacier Bay, or farther north, the weather will be different there, too. Glacier Bay is chilly, and Fairbanks is hot. (except for last summer, when it rained most of the time)
I would suggest that for your shore excursions that you wear a good pair of walking shoes, such as tennis shoes. If you want to take the tour where you walk on a glacier, or if you plan to walk around Juneau and Ketchikan, or go out on deck, even if it is raining, then you might also want to bring some sort of waterproof footwear. The little short waterproof booties work fine. You don’t need to wear knee-high rubber boots.
Also bring a light jacket, such as something made of polar fleece and a raincoat. Or bring a waterproof coat that has a fleece lining. Lightweight gloves and a warm fleece or knit hat would be a good idea, too.
Let’s hope that you don’t need to wear any of these, but chances are that you will need them all at some point during your cruise.
While in Juneau, be sure and visit the Alaska State Museum. If you like antiquarian books, the Observatory Bookstore is within walking distance of the docks. Great Alaskan Native art can be found at Raven’s Journey. I hope that your ship stops in Sitka. It’s a gem of a town. If you end up in Fairbanks, be sure and see the University of Alaska Museum.
Have a great trip!
BEAUTIFUL.
Atad rainy at spots and at times, you are traveling rainforest regions afterall.
Hardly ever cold, A light jacket and you’ll be fine. Even when viewing glaciers up close.
