It's best to visit in the summer if you don't like snow and cold. If you wanna see how beautiful it can be in winter, come up around Christmas time 🙂

@AKOutdoorGirl Appreciate that. It's a place I'm considering later this year for a backpacking trip and Sept. was my window. No issues with cold but flying insects? No so much. :)

@AKOutdoorGirl I have gotten swarmed by mosquitoes on the Kenai Peninsula in June before. Will they be out as early as April in Anchorage?

@tk9999 it depends on the weather really.

@AKOutdoorGirl I tried to drive to Seward the day after and almost went car sledding on the pass. I turned back about half way through. 😬
I'll save that for April, maybe they'll have some whale watching tours going on.
