Alaska Adventure Trip

Long road trips, Any help would be appreciated for a LONG trip to ALASKA!?

My husband I are planning to go to ALASKA as a graduation gift for me. We have 1 yr to plan this LONG road trip and we think it’d be a great experience. We have exactly 2 weeks to go Alaska and come back. We live in South Texas and we’re planning to take about 2,500dlls, our own vehicle, our own food/ice chest, and We plan to camp wherever we decide to stop for a rest. The goal is to get to Alaska but also to experience Wyoming and Colorado.

I guess you don’t plan on sleeping for 5 days???

On a trip of that calibre, you should drive no more than 10 hours or 500 miles per day. So if Mapquest says 74 hrs., you should be looking at 7 days of driving up and 7 days of driving back. And there goes your entire 2 weeks.

Travels in Alaska by Muir, John [Paperback] $27.81 Travels in Alaska, which John Muir was working on at the time of his death, is based on journals Muir wrote during his visits to Alaska in 1879, 1880, 1881, 1890, and 1899. From the moment he embarked from San Francisco in May, 1879, off for icy Alaska, Muir sensed he was on an extraordinary adventure. Venturing on foot, by canoe and dogsled, he experienced equal excitement discovering an unfamiliar species of flower, bird, or tree, or the spectacular Glacier Bay all of which he conveys with consummate artistry. Here also is a record of such harrowing experiences as rescuing his companion while the two hung over a thousandfoot precipice and narrowly escaping. death between grinding walls of glacial ice. Travels in Alaska culminates with Muirs vivid description of the supreme, serene, supernal beauty of Alaskan auroras observed during his penultimate trip in 1890. Men like Muir (Robert Marshall was another) continue for us the spiritual reclamation of North America. At their keenest, they evoke for us something of the freshness of an hour and a day when, before the intervention of culture, men saw the world for the first time as something wonderful and new.
