Alaska Trip
We would like to plan a trip to Anchorage Alaska from the middle of Kansas.
Has anyone on this forum made that trip?? We would be interested in your insites and your route, also the availability of motels and gas. Suggestions as to what the roads are like, ect. Our son lives in Missoula MT and we would probably jump off from there.
Thanks

There has been several forum members that have made that journey and one in particular that posted a great post with many updates and details about his journey. I did a simple search on"alaska" and found quite a few hits. I will see if I can find the one I am talking about, I think it has a lot of info in it.
I am always envious and happy when I see these Alaska trips as I one day will make that trip as well. Have wanted to do it for several years now, just havent made it a priority...

I'm headed up there in June of 2011. My wife and I are taking 3 weeks to do the trip from Oregon. I have family in Fairbanks and they will be starting their King Salmon trip during our travels up there. We will hook up in Fairbanks for a day or 3 and then travel a bit and then find their camp to go fishing. I've never caught a 40 lb. fish before. Shold be fun. After than we are going to take a Alaska ferry from Haines to Juneau. We will overnight in Juneau on land and then catch the ferry again to Prince Rupert, BC. From there; back to Oregon. We will be camping and moteling. I will be doing a trip report as we go (if I can find internet).

I've made the trip on my bike from Houston. However, that bike was a Trek. Someday I'll do it on my Harley.

You should go through Alberta and do the Banff to Jasper rout hwy 93 (the Icefields Parkway). The mountain scenery is something you won't soon forget.
