Summer Solstice is a big deal up here in Alaska. We treasure our sunlight and enjoy our summers with endless daylight. Summer Solstice marks the time when the hours of daylight start dwindling down until in the fall we head back to our darkened nights filled with hopeful northern lights. So many people mark the celebration by climbing our famous peak of 3500 feet called Flattop. 100's of people flock up to the top of this little mountain on summer solstice. And at the top you will often find people playing guitars and once there was a guy juggling fire. This time there was girl skipping around the top hula hooping. Many people choose to wear costumes or hats and beads and feather boas to celebrate. We just simply hiked up to enjoy the view and the people. My friends Nichole, Heidi and Heather decided to join me for this Summer Solstice and so glad they did. It was a fun time. Heidi wanted to kill me soon after it all started, but I think she enjoyed herself in the end.
