I lived in AK - 1960 thru 1982. Those are what I call the good days. Especially 1960-1965. June thru September would be ideal for tourism.
It will always depend on how much time and money you have.
I would rent a small motor home and start with the Alaska Marine Highway system. Bellingham, WA to Haines, AK. This is an excellent way to see most all of SE Alaska.
Haines to Anchorage. Anchorage, south to Seward and Homer. Excellent charter boats for ocean fishing in either town.
Then head back north - all the way to Fairbanks. This trip will mean you have covered most all the paved roads in AK.
Back home via the ALCAN( Alaska/Canadian highway ) or back on the Alaska Marine Highway system.
Remember - any trip to Alaska will require that everybody has a valid passport.
This will be a trip of your lifetime. Plan accordingly.
