Done Alaska 3 times. Early season everytime. Each time a little later than the trip before.
Much depends on if the north is getting an early or late summer arrival. Each time we entered AK along the TOW highway. 1st time we crossed the Yukon on the second day the ferry was running. By 3rd time we were crossing 2 weeks after the season started for the ferry.
Drag your heels by taking a slow ride up through Canada using the Cassiar highway. Last trip we were almost a month just in Canada northbound.
