My goal is to be well settled in AK by the start of the red salmon season in early July, so we will have plenty of time to poke along on the way.

If this is your plan you'll probably miss the red salmon season. They usually start running on the Kenai near the end of May and into June. You MAY catch a second run near the end of June into the early part of July though.
Chain laws on the Alcan are "in effect" between Oct 1st and May 1st. Usually you'll see some snow along side the highway in the early part of May, but nothing to worry about.
