ALASKA HIGHWAY • Priceless Tips & Mistakes to Avoid (from Alaskans)

Thanks! Seeing Alaska and spending proper quality time on that visit is on my bucket list. Your advice dispelled a number of wrong ideas, misconceptions and out dated ideas I had about it.

We were there for 10 weeks in the summer of 2019 and feel like we just scratched the surface. We loved every minute, even though we broke an axle coming down into Chicken from the Top of the World Hwy. We are planning to return in summer of 2022.

Surprised I had not found this channel before. Lived in Alaska (Eielson USAF) for 3.5 years 79 through 83. Returned with the family for 2 weeks in a rented Motorhome in 99 and 11, and did a surf and turf in 07. All three trips 2 weeks long. Simply love it there and your advice is very sound. I have my own Motorhome now and plan to retire the end of 2021, so thinking about taking a much longer trip in the next few years.

As Canadians, my wife and I have been to Alaska twice! The first time was 35 years ago, where we drove up the Dempster highway to Inuvik, then headed south for our first time in Alaska, of which we spent several weeks. Back then, at Whittier Alaska, you could drive up onto a railcar, which took you through the tunnel (now you can drive through it yourself!) where a ferry was awaiting us, to take us down to Valdez! Just out of Valdez, prior to getting there the ferry slowed at what I believe is the 'Columbia Glacier' where we saw chunks the size of a house fall into the ocean! There are many glaciers in the Valdez area of course. Our second trip was 3 years ago, during the summer months, of which we travelled with another couple who had their own RV as well. We boondocked together often, and after a trip in to Chena Hot Springs (definitely worth seeing) we camped alongside a small river, right on the creek-side itself. I won't get into all the sites, as we hit pretty well all the highlight regions of Alaska for the most part, and as mentioned, take as much time as you can, as the people are wonderful and the social aspect of the trip is worthy in itself! These previous trips where with smaller units, where we now have a diesel pusher motorhome, so getting to the 'outer portions of the state' won't be as easy, but we still look forward to our next trip to Alaska, as you truly cannot get 'enough' of it, after you return home and recollect the good times you had there, as well as the scenery and wildlife. On our trip 35 years ago, we had the opportunity to drive all the way in along the Denali ourselves, and even stayed at the 'end of the road' where the next day on our way out, the wildlife was immense! We saw Grizzlies chasing one another up and down the hills right in front of us, moose, fox and many many Caribou, some with HUGES antlers! It's definitely a trip one should do more than once folks!

Love Alaska! Fished in Whittier, flew to Kotzebue and spent 10 days in the Brooks range. One of the most spectacular places on earth. I will return!

We wanted to meet you this year, due to this pandemic it put a stop to it. I am too from Alaska and yes being from Alaska is different from a visitor.. raised as a child from 1979 .. it's the last frontier... maybe next year.. thanks for sharing

Well done. Thank you for sharing. Buen Camino.

Heading to Alaska this year. This is one of the best / straight forward YouTube videos I've seen. Thank you.

Ty for sharing… ❤️ the channel… binge watching 🤗

Hey guys, great video as always! In September of 2018 we flew to Anchorage and rented a 22 foot class C, we spent a week on the Kenai Peninsula. Seward was great! Loved Homer, and our last night was spent on the shores of Skilak Lake. We couldn't have asked for better weather, I really didn't want to leave! Alaska is truly a special place.

I found it safer sleeping on the side of the road in Alaska then I did in the lower 48 and that also stands for the Alcan also never had a worry

Great video.. my husband and I want to visit when we can get vacation time after this deployment.. we love the beautiful country.. it looks amazing plus your advice is sound!

We loved our trip to Alaska we loved the Alcan. And the dalton highway we took 3 months there we would move there but our parents are older and can’t leave Florida. Can’t wait to head back in few years without our youngest kids. Love your videos we camped in Seward.

Barndoor Halibut is my husband's dream goal. We plan to come up from Maryland just for that purpose 🤗

Watched again - leaving in 7 days! Alway gleaning something from these videos!!

Been watching you guys now for several years and this is one of your best videos ever! Bookmarked it in my Alaska folder amd from a trustworthy and knowledgeable source:)

Thank you! We have a trip planned for 2022. Until then we have some great places to visit in the lower 48.
