North Haul Road (Dalton Highway)

by RickinDutch

I live in Alaska, but further south in Kodiak where we have moderating marine climate. But I have driven the Haul Road (now called the Dalton) as far as the arctic circle during the summer.I'm assuming you've done some research and have made good preparartion for the winter weather that still prevails in March. I'm an experienced winter driver and I wouldn't attempt going north of Fairbanks in March even in my own four wheel drive SUV with studded tires - let alone a rental. March can be the 'tween time this far north. Mostly likely deep winter still but can get freak upsurges in temps, break up and flash floods.Here is a good link to find out more if you haven't done the research.http://www.alaskageographic.org/uploads/pdf/dalton-vg2009.pdfGood luck!

Alaska Marine Highway An Alternative to Cruises

by CdnJane

My traveling companion did not want to take a cruise, and I didn't want to drive or fly, so our alternative was taking the ferry. I'm glad that we did! We caught M/V Columbia's departure of 6pm on Fri Sept 14 at Bellingham, Washington and traveled up to Haines, Alaska. From Friday until early Sunday morning, there were no stops as we cruised through Canadian waters. For us that was perfect, we had a cabin booked - a double outside cabin, with facilities - bunk beds, an ensuite washroom (toilet and shower, with sink in the cabin) and as we didn't have a car with us, all our luggage was in the cabin with us, and it was tight, but doable - and this gave us a chance to catch up on jetlag, sightsee without the stress of driving, and just relaxing. We were impressed with the food services - quality, quantity and price. The Columbia has a full-service (sit-down with wait staff) dining room as...

The McCarthy Road

by Matyas

Not as big adventure as the James Dalton Highway but beleive me...can be more than enough for humans:)) Just 60 miles but please notice this is a gravel and dirt road and recommended to keep the speed limits. Better to use a truck or land rover rather than RVs. A one way journey takes about 2,5 - 3,5 hours and at least 4 or more by RVs. Watch for current weather conditions and slow down because ... (picture 1). At the end of the road, you will find parking area and possible to leave your car here for 5 dollars.

motorhome rental

by livinmydreams

I am a life long Alaskan, I used ABC for a winter camping trip and was given the motorhome with a full *hitter.... NOT fun. Alaska has a bunch of people that rent out their motorhome on the side to help pay for it or rent it out all of the time. Try chekcing out Craigslist to see if you can get a better deal that the large shops.I suggest Clippership if you want to use a regular business:5401 Old Seward HighwayAnchorage, AK 99518-1458(907) 562-7051Let me know if you want ideas on camping places! Camp grounds fill up quickly in teh summer so you may want to make reservations for camping during a weekend.Christy

Driving Around Alaska by Car

by jumpingnorman

My sister arrived a day earlier to Alaska than myself and she got a car to rent for 5 days which I booked through Expedia for about $220 (Hertz)- to be picked up from airport (May 2009). She said she paid about $350 though when she arrived because there were some miscellaneous charges and taxes (Alaska is known for high taxes on car rentals at the airport, and we have heard that the tax may be less if you rent at the city of Anchorage itself rather than the airport - we have not confirmed this though).But having the car was worth it -- we drove over 1000 miles during one of the best springs in Alaska during its 50th year of being a state. Our car was a red humble Ford Focus which was brand new (with only 300 miles on it) and we had no problems whatsoever. The weather was perfect and driving was easy at the time we visited.When we visited, the snow was already melting and so there were...

Alaska Airlines

by jumpingnorman

The first time we saw a bald eagle was when my sister and I were driving on our first day in Alaska and I was talking with my wife on the phone, and this huge bird flew over our car, spreading its 7 foot wingspan for us to enjoy! Unfortunately, we did not have a camera on hand!But it was funny when I saw an ad saying that the State Bird is Alaska Airlines! Hehehe….true enough this “bird” does fly around 20 cities throughout the state – and I also got the cheapest flights going to Alaska through this airlines. I paid only $10 for my RT ticket from Phoenix (plus $75 processing fee) through my accumulated 25, 0000 mileage with Northwest Airlines (Alaska Airlines is a partner airline!). It was sooooo affordable and my flights were all on-time, owing to good weather.However, due to natural weather conditions and situations (like a volcanic spewing about 3 weeks before), flights may of course...

The best book to have if driving in Alaska

by LadyXoc

If you are doing any driving in Alaska a fabulous book and wealth of info is the book Milepost."The Milepost provides maps, diagrams, photographs, and most of all, an almost mile by miles travelogue of what to expect in driving the major roads of the North Country. The information provided will allow the traveler to locate the next gas station, campground, hotel, or scenic spot. The advertisements allow some advance planning for areas where few hotel beds may be available. Travelers can also plan ahead for fishing charters on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska or the operating hours of visitor centers or the few but sometimes excellent museums that can be found along the roads. In buying the most recent edition of the Milepost, travelers can expect reasonably up-to-date information on major road construction. The Milepost includes some information on major hiking trailheads just off the main...

Winter Driving on the Alcan Highway

by RickinDutch

First, buy the Milepost. A great mile by mile resource for the Alcan.The highway is in good shape (paved) the whole way. Winter is actually better as they aren't repaving portions like they do in the summer, but you do have to worry about ice.Plan it out so you have a warm place to stay each night - hence the real need for the Milepost. Temps can vary between -40 and +20 in the winter. Remember you have to go a lot further north than Anchorage before you reach Tok and head south again.If it were me, I wouldn't tow anything in the winter. Start sliding a load on ice and you can't do anything to recover it. I went for 20 years in Alaska without studded tires and when I finally got some 10 years ago I couldn't believe the difference. Much more control on the ice. And I've driven front wheel, back wheel and four wheel drive. Give me four wheel any day. Front wheel is better than nothing but...

"Glacier Express" to Mendenhall Glacier

by starship

UPDATE: In 2006 the price of the Glacier Express was $6.00 each way for adults.If you arrive in Juneau by cruise ship, instead of taking an expensive excursion tour, consider taking the "Glacier Express" blue bus to the Mendenhall Glacier and Visitors Center. You can find one of the many which arrive every few minutes at Franklin Street (downtown) near the cruise ship piers. For $5 per person (2003 prices) each way (children were half price) you can have a scenic ride and possibly learn about the area from the driver. Our bus drivers actually gave us quite a lot of information about the Juneau area and wildlife in just the few minutes to and from Mendenhall Glacier. (If you feel that your driver was very informative and helpful, you might want to offer a small tip on disembarking the bus. Our driver was well worth it!) You can then be free to spend as much time as you prefer at the...
