What counts as night in Alaska?
Night runs from sunset to sunrise. Permy works out sunset and sunrise from where you drive.
Your state's guidance doesn't give exact night hours, so Permy counts night from sunset to sunrise.
Where do these numbers come from?
Permy automatically tracks night/weather toward Alaska challenging circumstances. The verified category is broader than night and inclement weather; other qualifying challenging circumstances may count and may not be tracked automatically.
