Between mid-May to mid-September, you just can't go wrong visting Alaska. Peak season is mid -June to mid-August but the days are long and the weather gorgeous for most of these 4 months.
While mid-June to mid-July is considered the best time to visit keep in mind that if you care to avoid mosquitoes, then July end will suit you better.
If you want to hike in high country or the Arctic regions, the Tundra will only melt by late June.
For those looking for the colors of the Northern Lights, August-September is best.
September-October are the best times for some wilderness solitude but with shorter days and rainfall.
No one really recommends Alaska from November to March.
With Alaska coming back from the winter months, April-May is a luminiscent time to be there - everything sparkles, the sun shines and the nights are cool.
May-June are the best months for catching wildlife (on camera please!) and see the snow-capped hills and wildflowers blooming.
July-august is the most popular time with fish biting, warmth flowing and lovely berries dotting the trees.
Since Alaskan weather isn't predictable, don't worry your head too much about picking the perfect time, just come in good cheer and enjoy your plans anyway!
