Best time to go
Okay we are going to make the trip to Alaska in 2019. We are trying to decide whether to go Spring ( May & June) or Fall (August & September). I have heard pros and cons for both. Pros Spring- more wildlife viewing, snow on Mountains for prettier scenery, not as crowded etc. biggest cons- bugs, mosquitoes, black flies, bad roads left over from winter, crowded with kids out of school.
Fall pros- less crowded, very few bugs, better roads. Cons- scenery not as good, cold weather moving in quick in September. Places closing up season etc
So with that said Iād like to ask you veterans who have done it several times when is the best time to go? We plan on doing it 8-10 weeks. Thanks!!ā
