Exploring Alaska by Car
USA Today has an interesting article for those who don’t really want to see Alaska from the deck of the ship. There are couple of alternatives to explore Alaska this summer, you can drive to Alaska through Canada or you can either fly in and drive around or drive to Alaska and fly home.
“The most often-traveled car route from the U.S. is to cross the border and head west on the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) into the Canadian Rockies, past Banff and Jasper national parks. Then drive north on Highway 97 to Dawson Creek, British Columbia, where the famed Alaska Highway begins with a signpost noting “Mile 0.” The highway ends 1,523 miles later in Fairbanks. The scenery is spectacular, and the classic Alaska travel book, “The Milepost,” provides a mile-by-mile guide to the road. From Fairbanks, if you head south, you’ll hit Denali National Park, Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula. “
