That's what I like hearing! I really am leaning toward Spring because I can stretch the time if needed.. Where as in the Fall I need to leave by October to beat the snow!
Why one or the other? Plan to cross the Canadian border by May 20 and leave Alaska in Sept. or whenever. Spending all summer is the way to do it. It's an expensive and long trip. How often will you do it? Might as well take your time and enjoy it.
2gypsies makes a very good point. Plan to go early and stay late. Be flexible and let the adventure go one day or one week at a time. You will know when you have had enough. When you have seen enough incredible beauty, enough wildlife sightings, caught enough fish, gazed across mountains rising out of vast openness of the waters, hiked enough trails, seen enough glaciers, breathed enough clean air, and immersed yourselves in enough tranquility, you will make the choice to return to you normal everyday life.
Enjoy this adventure and if you are like us, you will be longing for the next return visit.

What fabulous answers! That pretty much settles it Spring it is! We'll head out early May with no time limit and take in Gods beauty! Whether we ever get enough of it remains to be seen! We have been all over this country and eastern Canada. What we have seen defies descriptions! But we never get enough! Thanks to all for your input! Fellow travelers and campers are the best!!
