I have booked a day trip to Barrow in early Nov. arriving at 10:30 and leaving at 8:10pm to avoid hotel cost.
It is hard to book the ticket as I am using delta skymiles
BOS SEA FAI (overnight) BRW ANC PDX BOS.
Only have 4 hour to connect and one stopover. Anything I should do?
I do wish to see northern lights.
I failed to see it at Yellowknife two weeks ago (for one night stay).
But northern light is not important since I am sure I will see it as it is not that rare.
Renting a car? Join a tour? Thanks.
Hard to beat for 25000 delta skymiles......
Why are you going to Barrow in the first place? That might answer your question of what to do. Sorry, I doubt you will find any "tours" in November.
I also doubt you will see the Northern Lights with just a single night there, but you might get lucky. Actually, with not even spending the night, your chances of seeing the Northern Lights diminishes even further.
You should try and get to the Inupiat Heritage Center assuming it is open. You can walk around town (or hire a taxi) to see the whale bone arch, maybe have a taxi driver take you around town.
