Not that significant differences between the dates. Probably a bit warmer towards later month...lightest around the Solstice. But weather changes almost hourly.  Did 14 days the first half of June in 2019...had every possible weather, from shorts weather, to rain, to bundled up in every piece of clothing we brought. Was a great time to be there.

I'd say board on the 18th, because you'd be doing the mountain part of your trip the week before, when the mountains have greened up, have long hours of daylight, and slightly before peak tourist season.  Also a fairly good chance of seeing wildlife with young of year.  Some of the mountain waterfalls should be pretty spectacular due to snow still melting in the back country.
