The best way to see the north county is however you choose to do it. Not one best way for every one, IMHO. Most of the folks that have gone on caravans, report having a great time. Those that go solo or with a companion, also have a great time on their trip. There are some that don't enjoy their trip, seemingly because they didn't have any reason to go, just so they could say they did it, I guess. One forum member reported being very disappointed in his trip because he went strictly to take photographs and he hit one of the rainy summers in Alaska. Alaska and northern Canada are so huge, if it is raining where you are, get on a plane and fly to where e weather is better for you. Fly over to Nome, Kotzebue or Barrow. There will be more photo opps than you can believe. I am always curious about people that make numerous RV trips to Alaska but never venture off the road system to see what other parts of Alaska look like and meet some of the people that live in some of the more remote parts of the state.
