# Tikchik Narrows Lodge In Bristol Bay Alaska *By James Hills — Updated July 2019* It might be cold right now but summer is just around the corner. For some, an Alaska cruise is the perfect way to see the state for the first time. However, I'm hooked now and dream of returning soon to spend some time fishing, exploring, and learning more about what it means to be in Alaska. There is no better time to visit Alaska than during the summer when the daylight hours are long and the weather is warm! If you’re looking to truely "get away from it all", Bristol Bay is the place to be. It's located on the eastern arm of the Bering Sea and is one of the world's most valuable fisheries.
