September trip to Alaska - advice, suggestions?
Looking to plan a trip to Alaska for this September. Aurora Borealis is a priority but based on my research (here and on other websites) seems like there's plenty of other things to see.
Hoping to spend 8 - 10 days and hoping to see if anyone has any advice or suggestion on the plans below:
Day 1 - Arrive ANC
Day 2 - 4: Seward, Kenai Fjords (day cruise)
Day 5 - 8: Fairbanks with day trip to Denail on one of the days
Day 9: ANC
2 big questions: how is the weather and amount of daylight in mid-Sept? Is it worth driving from ANC to Fairbanks or just fly there and rent a car at Fairbanks (and going to Denali as a short trip)? Cost is not an issue; driving long hours in pre-winter conditions is not much of an issue unless the road conditions are.
Thanks!
