Not complaining but now I wish we had driven.. I love your warnings(or ignoring of) I grew up around logging so know how to interact with logging trucks and mountain roads. I would agree with taking our own vehicle and going and stopping when we want.. Heading toward the park today, is rainy and snowy and to yuck to work so maybe i will get some good pics.. Have abeautiful day! I am now planning our next driving trip toward alaska.. may only make it to Canada on the next trip but that's alright!

My son lived in Alaska for about 5 years (Fairbanks for 4, and Barrow for 1). He went to school there at UAF, and then taught school in Barrow. My son and husband make a yearly trek to Alaska, and they have had many adventures. They have driven the Dalton Hwy, too. I enjoyed your post and will have to come back to read part 2.
