Yes...get in touch with the locals! See the link to the Consolidated ANC Meet-Up Thread in my signature. You'll see from that thread that they're a very hospitable group. I only wish I still lived there so I could hang out, too!

One of the locals (although I'm not sure if he's in ANC this weekend) does a bit of photography. Even if he's not, several people there can point you in the right direction for northern lights photography, though.

Enjoy Flattop! Shouldn't be too crowded this time of year. A friend always wanted to take me up in the winter and then slide down the snow-chute, but I prefer my hiking to be >32 degrees.
