I'm well into my planning for our Great Alaska Adventure during the summer of 2013. My plan is exactly 94 days, beginning to end. I've reserved the Alaskan and BC ferries already...The front end of our trip is mostly driving, the second half of the trip involves lots of ferrying and then driving again, just to break things up as much as possible. (We should be real experts at getting our Itasca Reyo (25'5") on and off ferries by the time we're done with this one!) We're going to drive the whole distance north from Colorado, up through Yellowstone and & Glacier NPs, then into Canada to Calgary and Edmonton, then up into and across the Yukon Territory. We've decided to skip the extra miles and long haul to Fairbanks, and will head west at Tok towards Anchorage. A couple of days in Anchorage. We may drive a bit north to Hope and Talkeetna, but we've decided not to do the long haul to Denali, followed by hours on a bus to see Denali (which is usually in the clouds anyway.) If we decide to see Denali, we'll take a plane flight over the great mountain. But we see land hike lots of fabulous mountains in Colorado, so McKinley is not such an earth=shattering experience for us. Heading south from Anchorage, We'll spend lots of time in Valdez, Homer, Kenai, maybe the Katmai NP, then to Whittier, where we'll start our ferry-excursions as we head back east....we figure we'll be about ready to view scenery without so much driving by then anyway. Ferry from Whittier to Juneau, across the Gulf of Alaska, past Glacier Bay. Juneau for a few days. Fly from Juneau to Gustavus, with 2 nights at the much-ballyhooed Gustavus Inn--celebrating our 43rd anniversary a month early, with a boat trip into Glacier Bay while there. Back to Juneau, ferry to Skagway, 2 days there. Ferry to Haines, 2-3 days there. Ferry to Sitka, a few days there. Ferry to Petersburg, a few days there. Ferry to Wrangell, a few days there. Ferry to Ketchikan, a few days there. Long ferry ride Ketchikan to Prince Rupert, then a short ferry to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. I've allowed 7 days to get down to Victoria, for the ferry to Port Angeles, WA.
