Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Denver (Mountain Time) and Anchorage (Alaska Time) have a **variable offset** due to differing DST schedules:
| Period | Denver | Anchorage | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Time (Nov–Mar) | MST (UTC-7) | AKST (UTC-9) | 2 hours (Denver ahead) |
| Daylight Saving (Mar–Nov) | MDT (UTC-6) | AKDT (UTC-8) | 1 hour (Denver ahead) |
Both observe DST, but transition dates align (2nd Sun Mar / 1st Sun Nov), so the **1-hour DST gap persists year-round**—unlike some state pairs where one opts out.
Always verify with a time-zone converter near travel dates.
