Traveling in AK, BC, and AB in September
We are leaving for Alaska from NC July 8. We plan on spending all of July through mid-August in SE Alaska before heading north to Alaska mainland. I expect us to be heading south into Canada sometime ...

September is our favorite month for travel in the north. The fall colours are spectacular! The highway is quieter too. And usually road repairs are complete and forest fire season is over so fewer delays.
There is the possibility of snow anytime in September. Usually it melts quickly, but be prepared to spend a day or two waiting it out. One mid-September trip southward we hit an ice storm at Fort Nelson that made the Alaska Highway slick and thick. Icycles were hanging from the truck mirrors!
Many commercial RV parks close after Labor Day. You'll find some open though. Be prepared to drycamp though, just in case.
