PLACES VISITED:Alyeska, Anchorage, Delta Junction, Denali National Park, Glennallen, Homer, Kenai, Kenai Fjords National Park, Seward, Talkeetna, Tok
SUGGESTED DURATION:8 Days
See Alaska the way it's meant to be seen. There is so much to see and do in Alaska and many tour companies and Cruise lines limit you to specific areas and destinations. When you choose to RV through the Last Frontier you’re in charge of where you go and how long you stay. Plus, your drives can be punctuated by stops to actually see sights—not just searches for the closest restroom. After all, you have your own “convenience” on board, as well as a kitchen, bedroom, and TV. This itinerary brings you to the heart of Alaska. Please note: This is a summer itinerary as many areas throughout this route close mid September.
