My Husband and I are planning a trip to Alaska in Mid-June 09. We will be camping our way from Indiana...North. We only have a month so I hope we can do this. My question; when we reach Tok, Alaska we want to make a large loop, should we travel to Fairbanks then down to Anchorage or Anchorage to Fairbanks back to Tok? Reason I asked is we want to see Denali..and Mt. McKinley and some views are better traveling in a certain direction.
We took our Teardrop out to the Western States last year and had a grand time. Thanks!

I live in Alaska, I moved here from Washington Indiana back in 1998. I lived in Dutch Harbor when I first got here. Then moved to Wasilla where I met my beautiful wife. I then joined the US Coast Guard and I am now stationed in Kodiak.

Any way let me get back on track. To answer your question about which way from Tok. I personally like the drive from Anchorage to Fairbanks better. That is the way I would suggest going so you have plenty of time to go to Denali. How ever either way is a wonderfully majestic drive I know I fall in love with Alaska all over again ever time I see it.

I wish you and your hubby safe travels and who knows maybe we'll run into you in canada. I'm getting transfered to California. :shake hands:

I also think the drive from Anchorage north has a better view of Denali...but you won't be disappointed either way!!! Have a wonderful visit and trip!!!

I've never made that drive but my dad has a couple times. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun.
