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 Iโ€™d 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!!โ€
