Is it true that there’s lots of insects in Summer in Alaska? Would love to see Alaska as well!
Apologies for the late response. Yes, the mosquitos are more numerous in Alaska than anywhere else I have ever traveled. It is only the females that bite, but even the males buzz about your head incessantly. There were places they were a nuisance, and other places, I hardly noticed them.
The solutions are DEET, mosquito netting in the camper, campfires and these little tennis racquet shaped bug zappers that helped too.
All that said, I'd let those bugs bite me to the point of being one giant just to experience the indescribably vast beauty of the place. It's unmatched. If you can go; do, and definitely rent an RV and camp! You'll never be able to see the remote areas any other way.
