And a comparison between our two trips? If you are lucky enough, I’d suggest you go both times. The bears lying in dandelion fields in the spring, the freshly green boreal forest, and the blue skies lasting almost all night, make up (almost) for the bugs.
But the colours in the fall and the night sky will make you gasp. And the freedom from bug spray or hats is a definite plus. The constant warning about bears was nerve-wracking and the lack of seeing them a relief and disappointment.
Of the 70,000 Yukon moose and multiple warnings on the roads, we saw one and a half (cow and calf) and couldn’t stop or turn around for a longer view. Of the caribou highway crossings we crossed, not a hair of a caribou was seen but we did see a lynx, three foxes, three coyotes and two herds of bison and hundreds of stone and dall sheep - all wonderful to see.
