RVing in Alaska: An Unforgettable Adventure
Exploring Alaska through RVing is an experience like no other, requiring ample time to truly savor every moment. The journey itself is as rewarding as the destination, offering countless stops and breathtaking sights. If you’re pressed for time, there are still several ways to enjoy this adventure.
Planning Your Trip
Alaska's vast landscapes offer endless exploration opportunities. If you're balancing work or school schedules, consider shorter trips focusing on specific areas. One popular option is a sea-and-land tour via the Inside Passage. You can easily load your RV onto BC ferries from Seattle or British Columbia, or opt to fly into Alaska and rent an RV locally.
For those with more time, the drive includes stunning stops in Glacier National Park, Calgary, Lake Louise, Banff, and the Edmonton Mall before reaching the Alcan Highway.
Must-See Destinations
Skagway and Historic Railways
Don't miss a side trip to Skagway to ride the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway. This historic narrow-gauge railroad from the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush offers breathtaking views of rugged terrain, cascading waterfalls, and towering trestles.
Anchorage and Beyond
From Skagway, head back to Whitehorse and proceed to Tok. Decide whether you’ll head southwest to Anchorage or north to Fairbanks. Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, provides excellent RV facilities and a convenient spot for restocking supplies. Consider a side trip to Valdez to see the southern end of the Alaskan pipeline, visit museums, enjoy fish hatchery tours, and take a party boat to view stunning glaciers and whales.
Fishing Enthusiasts
For avid anglers, Seward, Soldotna, Kenai, and Homer are must-visits. Charter boats or rentals offer opportunities to catch Halibut and King Salmon.
Nature and Wildlife
Return to Anchorage and travel north to Denali National Park. A bus tour offers a chance to witness the majestic Mount McKinley, provided it’s a clear day. Don’t miss the world’s largest coal mine just north of the park.
Cultural Experiences
In Fairbanks, take a riverboat cruise to discover the Eskimo way of life. Learn about their remarkable survival techniques, like catching and curing salmon for sled dogs. While there, visit local factories creating beautiful wooden bowls.
The Journey Home
Return to Tok and take the rugged Top of the World Highway through Chicken to Dawson City, then travel through the Yukon to Whitehorse. Decide between two routes home: the eastern route back to Edmonton or the western route to Prince George, descending into the USA. Canada offers many state parks with RV sites, ideal for resting and enjoying nature.
Essential Resources
Invest in "The Milepost," a book that guides your journey mile by mile, starting at Dawson Creek, British Columbia. It’s an invaluable resource for navigating Alaska with your RV. Also, remember your passport, as it’s essential for crossing borders.
Embarking on an Alaskan RV adventure promises unparalleled views, rich history, and unforgettable experiences, making the journey an ultimate investment in exploration and discovery.
