I’m planning a trip to Alaska and I’m wondering what the best time of year to visit is. I’m looking for a balance between the best weather and the most activities available. I’m hoping to find a time when I can experience the beauty of the state without the extreme cold of the winter months. I’m also hoping to find a time when I can take advantage of all the outdoor activities the state has to offer. I’m looking for advice from those who have visited Alaska or live in the state to help me decide when the best time to visit is.
