    May is usually quite chilly, while June and July often have beautiful, warm weather. Are you going on a cruise or flying there? Our cruise had stops in Skegway, Juneau, and a couple of other places. If you're not on a cruise, you need to figure out how to go up the Inner Passage, to see the glaciers. We ziplined in one place. In Juneau, you can tag the cable car up to the wildlife refuge on the mountain and walk around. Skegway is fun to just walk around in- it's like an Old West town. If you go in May or early June, take layers and rain gear.

    Yeah, that kind of travel this May or June is a Really BAD Idea.

    Because, the pandemic.

    Stay the frak home.

    There are many online guides to visiting Alaska and also lots of YouTube videos on the topic. It also depends on WHERE in Alaska you want to visit and how you plan to move around.

    We went in June also.  We hiked the glacier at Matanuska, which was very cool.  Denali is a "must see" destination.  Just make sure you are aware of what to bring with you in terms of water and food.  Wassilla is home to the Iditarod museum.  They had sled dog puppies when we were there so it was fun to play with them. 

    We did a cruise, so we saw a lot of other stuff.  We even went snorkeling.  It wasn't very good snorkeling, but I can say I snorkeled in Alaska.
