I don’t think it would be wise to travel outside of Anchorage without a motorhome. I was a bit leery of renting a large motorhome (29′ or so), but actually I had no problem driving the vehicle until the very end of the trip when I drove out of a parking lot and bottomed out the rear of the RV. That cost me our deposit of at least $500. We recently purchased our own RV, and now I know that I must be careful when departing any location where there is a large dip in the roadway.
The huskies (dogs) were at a Ididaride training facility.
The buildings shown in the slide show were in Fairbanks. Metropolitan Fairbanks had a population of about 97,000 in 2010.
I have also included some of the same slides as in the link to “Exploring a Glacier”. It was obviously a part of the road trip. My memory doesn’t quite tie all of these things together in the right order, but I fortunately have camera sequence numbers to guide my slides.
We had no problem finding campgrounds that would accommodate us and our rented RV. As I recall, there were a number of stores and gas stations along our route as we went from Anchorage to Denali, Fairbanks and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and back to Anchorage–total trip of about 1000 miles.Mosquitos were always a problem.The home at the end of the slide show is where our hosts lived in Anchorage. They lived on the edge of the Chugach National Park in Anchorage, and had an amazing view of the city of Anchorage. We were in Alaska when there were only a few hours of darkness. You could look out of their living room at midnight and see the city.
