Alaska trip help

I have been to Alaska a few times. What’s your issue?

Just the logistics of the trip. Where to fly into.

All of your interests are in southern Alaska and I would definitely say Anchorage based on those locations. The only time I have flown into Fairbanks was when I went straight to the Arctic.

Do we need a vehicle for the whole trip? It looks like a lot of places are not vehicle accessible.

My experiences are different from what you're looking to do, but I'm about certain you cannot drive to Katmai or Lake Clark. You also want to fly to see Denali and see Kenai by boat, so a car would be of little to no use for you.

Roger will know more about every bit of this than I do, but my initial reaction is it's an ambitious trip (nothing wrong with that if you have the time and money) that will indeed take some planning.

If I were looking to do this I think I would call an air taxi company in Anchorage and just say, "Look, this is what I'm wanting to do. Do you have any advice?" and just see what they say. I also think it would be good to search for a company out of Anchorage that maybe facilitates such trips.

I would also ask these questions on the Alaska forum on Tripadvisor.

Roger should be pretty helpful, though, whenever he sees this thread.

Thanks for the recommendations. The more I looked the more overwhelmed I became. I agree that a rental car doesn’t make much sense. But I think there may be times that I will need transportation. Perhaps there are other means of transportation (bus or shuttle).

We are planning on spending two weeks. It does look like an expensive trip. But it’s a bucket list trip for us.

Viking Travel out of Petersburg.

That would make sense they would be in the SE

Yeah, Petersburg has that Norwegian Festival, they're all about Vikings.

I've actually never spent much time there. Mainly going through.
