Re: Best Alaska Travel Guide??
We bought both books for our trip this past summer. We did forget the Milepost at home and did fine without it. You can get a printout of gas stations and other services at the visitor center in Dawson Creek. We pretty much relied on Church's book to find campgrounds.460Views0likes0CommentsRe: Denali Highway
We drove in from Paxson as far as Tangle Lakes CG (which is paved), then after we dropped the trailer we drove a bit on the Denali with just our truck. Was a pretty rough road and we were glad we didn't try to drive it from Cantwell to Paxson. Edited to add: this was just a couple days ago.582Views0likes0CommentsRe: Denali Highway
I was wondering the same thing about the Denali. We have a travel trailer and truck. We drove the Dempster, but not with the trailer. We also did the Top of the World and stuff was all over the inside of the trailer and it was filthy on the outside. Also just got back from Teklanika where it rained the whole time we were there. More crud all over the truck and trailer. I'm questioning the wisdom of driving the Denali from Cantwell to Paxson.583Views0likes0CommentsRe: Roll Call Alaska 2016

We chose it because we wanted to explore more of the Denali Hwy with just our 4x4 truck. I agree that staying in the park gives you a better "feel". Do it if you can. lizzie Just last week we made reservations for Teklanika for July 22 - 25. There are tons of ways in Alaska to kill time until it's time to head into the park.368Views0likes0CommentsRe: Roll Call Alaska 2016

In checking out some of the coupons I see where there are a number requiring you to book in advance, some up to 3 days and also stating only a limited number of coupons accepted on each cruise. Has anyone tried to use the book and been turned away? Also, has anyone used the electronic version? Thanks in advance.121Views0likes0CommentsRe: Canadian National Parks 2017

It paid for itself and saved us some money as well.You still have to pay the camping fee, but you don't pay the entrance fee at the campgrounds. It also gives you free admission to many Parks Canada attractions. We will be getting another for this year when we head to Northwest Territories and Yukon. Thanks for the heads up. We did the same thing with US National Parks and it paid for itself.473Views0likes0CommentsRe: Roll Call Alaska 2016

I think there's enough information out there on Alaskan travel each year to forego a new Milepost next year. We're disappointed, of course, but will look forward to going next year.353Views0likes0Comments
