[QUOTE="krakum1967, post: 119559, member: 3691"] Alcan Highway and the State Ferry System offer advantages either way. But from experience, once you pass Dawson Creek, fuel and sundries become very expensive, and services are defintely limited. The ALCAN has improved greatly, but its a 3 to 4 day trek to Whitehorse in areas of high bear population, and again VERY high travel expenses. The ferry gives you a cruise experience (well not exactly, you have to buy food and drinks), and access to Alaskas Highway system through Haines. Here is the site [url]https://www.dot.state.ak.us/amhs/[/url] The Alcan is one heck trek and something to experience. I guess it would be a matter of choice, but SE Alaska offers some unique sites and experiences too. And you cannot drive there unless you use the ferries. Oh once you are in Haines, you access the main part of the state via highway and can tour Anchorage and Fairbanks and sites in between, it is a trek just to tour Alaska alone and an experience that really should be had IMHO. I just wanted to point out if there are members that would like to make the trek without the pains and difficulty that ALCAN can present, the ferry is the way to go. And I really wish I could come with as I have tons of recommendations and friends that can show all a really good time. [/QUOTE]
