Roll Call Alaska 2016
I have been planning this trip for 4+ years. It is now time to update my estimates and make my reservations. Estimate Wash/BC border about 5 May 2016, north on route 97/1/2 to Tok, south to Valdez...

We are also wanting to take our 1st Alaska trip in 2016. Has anyone assembled a list of the better places to stay and things to see?
If you're looking to experience the best the north has to offer, plan for camping outside of commercial campgrounds. Some of the better places to stay are the government campgrounds.
If you really need a commercial campground, do not expect the same quality of services in Yukon or Alaska. Be prepared for wide variety of services being available or not. Expect varying levels of cleanliness and quality of infrastructure.
- The internet can be dodgy, slow, cut you off a lot.
- Some have only 15 amp available.
- Water and sewer might be available only at a communal location and not at the campsites.
- Some require that you take your garbage with you.
- Some campgrounds aren't on the grid and shut their generators down at night to save fuel/money.
