What’s the best time to visit Anchorage, Alaska?

One of my college friends moved to Anchorage, Alaska after graduation and I’ve been meaning to take a trip to see her for quite some time. When would be the best time for me to drive up there?

The best time to visit Anchorage,
Alaska
is in the summer months, from June to August. During this time you’ll be less likely to encounter bad weather on your drive and will experience temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s.
It can also be pleasant to visit Anchorage in the spring but you should prepare for much colder temperatures if you plan your trip for this time of year. Average high temperatures will be anywhere from 34 degrees to 55 degrees, meaning the weather will be much less predictable.
Before you leave on your road trip, it’s important to make sure that your car insurance policy will protect you on your drive. Check out the
