Not to mention national monuments and state parks. Alaska remains on the 'to see' list. :)

There is a good discussions here previously about visiting Alaska NPs.

We've planned a trip last year from Seattle. Every inquiry I did said it's not advisable with my trailer and best way to do it is by ferry and just rent an RV or 4WD truck to the NP and/or book a cottage.

So, maybe next time. Meanwhile, we still got a lot to visit int he lower 48.

We'd probably drive up thru Western Canada, as we have Canadian friends along the way. We considered the Ferry, and might still do that. Still in planning stage - would hook up with another couple or two if the timing is right.
