Just beginning to do homework
Considering going to Alaska Summer of '22 and looking at tour/rally packages and if better to do trip on our own, or not at all. We are from East Coast so budgeting 2-3 weeks to drive out and back and...

We drove from northern Indiana in 2013. We used Mike and Terry Church's book, Alaskan Camping. We followed their suggested "circle tour" route and saw a lot. As someone else suggested, you will also want to order a new Milepost as the data changes every year.
We saw what we wanted in the mainland, then booked (ahead of time) a ferry from Skagway down through the inside passage to Prince Rupert on our way out. That was fabulous.
We started out with another couple and they left when we got to Valdez due to some medical problems. We finished up on our own and had a great time.
It was nice to have fellow travelers during our trek up through Canada, but we had no problems on the entire trip. I suggest getting the guide book I mentioned above and do some reading, then you can decide if you want to go by yourself.
