RVing in Alaska is not a two week trip, plan for a much longer time because
getting there and back is half the fun, enjoying the stops along the way.
But if time is an issue then you have several options. Alaska is a large
state with a lot to see,So if you are still working or have school age
children you can plan a shorter trip and limit the area you cover. A driver-
friendly option is a sea-and-land tour via the Inside Passage. You can load
your RV on the BC ferries in Seattle, Washington or British Columbia, or you
can fly to Alaska and rent an Rv. If you have the time there are many points
of interest in the US and Canada on the way. A trip in itself is sightseeing
in Glacier National Park, Calgary, Lake Louise, Baniff and the Edmonton Mall
before you get to the Alcan Highway.
Be sure to take a side trip to Skagway to ride the White Pass & Yukon Route
Railway. Experience the historic 1898 narrow gauge Klondike Gold Rush
Railroad with breathtaking terrain, beautiful scenery, cascading waterfalls
and sky-high trestles. Then back to Whitehorse and on to Tok, where a
decision needs to be made whether to go southwest to Anchorage or north to
Fairbanks. We went southwest first to Anchorage (largest city in Alaska)
with good RV facilities and a place to rest and get supplies. A good side
trip is Valdez, south end of the Alaskan pipeline, Museum of the earthquake,
fish hatchery, glaciers and viewing the whales from a party boat. We thought
that viewing the glaciers from the boat was spectacular. The glaciers were
all around us, we had to go very slow as of the glaciers were hidden under
the water.
For people who enjoy fishing, then Seward, Soldotna, Kenai and Homer is a
must. For Halibut and King Salmon you must take a charter boat or rent a
boat. Then back to Anchorage and north to Denali Park. A bus trip through
the park is a must, hope it is a clear day so you can see the top of Mount
McKinley. Be sure to visit the World largest coal mine just north of the
park.
Then on to Fairbanks, be sure to take the Riverboat cruise to learn about the
Eskimos way of living and surviving off the land in the frigid winters. They
must catch and cure one salmon per sled dog per day. The salmon season is
not that long and just think about cleaning that many salmon for ten or
twelve dogs. Also while in Fairbanks visit the factory where they make
beautiful bowls from trees.
Then back to Tok for the rugged Top of the World Highway that takes you on to
Chicken and Dawson City on your way through the Yukon to Whitehorse. Then you
must decide your route home, the eastern route back to Edmonton or the
Western route to Prince George then the US of A. There are many State Parks
in Canada on lakes with Rving Sites.
An investment well worth the money is the Milepost, a book for your trip to
and while you are in Alaska, milepost by milepost starting at Dawson Creek,
British Columbia, milepost 0. This book makes rving in Alaska easy.
Remember your passport as you will soon need one, so it is best to apply for
one now.

I needed something to do so I started a website on rving and camping. We have been camping and rving for almost 50 years. Starting out with a tent, then trailers and now motorhomes.
I want to share with fellow campers and rvers, and maybe people interested in trying this exciting way of life, what I have learned over the years and the exciting places we have been. Email support@rvingandcamping.com | http://www.rvingandcamping.com
