1) Your timetable may cover it, but if you can spend September in Alaska, you'll see some different scenery than otherwise....yes, I know the RV'ng stuff shuts down by early September, but seeing early fall is worth a bit of hassle IMO
2) Spending September on the way back down to the States (i.e. in Y.T. and NW B.C.) is almost as good as spending September in Alaska. :B
3) Always surprising to me how many folks visit Alaska without good rain gear and without good optics.
