Grew up in Fairbanks until I was 18, try to get back to visit the family when I can (which is harder and harder these day)
It's funny, when I was a teen all I wanted was to get out. Never really appreciated all it had until I was away for a few years.
My Grandfather had a boat out of Valdez and I have many good memories on it fishing for halibut and salmon.
July/Aug is a good time to go, weathers usually nice and the days are wicked long, however if you think the weather changes fast in New England wait'll you see AK so I'd advise good foul weather gear. The mosquitoes are no joke, they will swarm you like no tomorrow and they eat Cutter for breakfast so netting would be a good idea. Never had any crazy bear moments (some close calls with bull moose though) but most people recommend the spray.
