I think you’re asking the wrong question.
Decide what you want to do first then start looking which state to go to then start contacting schools/rentals.
Do you want to tuttle around locally twice a day or do you want to fly cross country and only cross country? Will you be alone or with a flying buddy?
South Florida to California and back is 50 hrs.
Which means from anywhere central USA to Florida and back is around 25 and so will be to Cali and back.
Also these 50-100 hrs don’t need to be at the same school. Do 25-30 hrs then move two states and do another 25-30 hrs then move again.
This will be the only time ( the ONLY!!) that you and only you will decide on how much fun you will have.
Everything else you do will just be about training and meeting requirements.
Its summer time in Alaska by the way.
You can look up airports here:
