BTW, the drive from Glennallen to Valdez in my opinion, is one of, if not the most, scenic drives in Alaska. One thing that struck me about how scenic the drive from Glenallen to Valdez was, nobody that has been there or lived there ever said anything about it. Maybe trying to keep it a secret? These next two are from Denali Hwy This one is of Mt. McKinley (I prefer to call it Denali) from Talkeetna that I thought I was posting last night. Last edited by m_stevenson; 01/27/11.

Thanks in advance scott For a DIY trip, hard to beat flying into Anchorage, Driving North up the parks highway to Fairbanks, then head S down the alcan to glennallen, keep going all the way to Valdez. Put your vehicle on the ferry, take it to Seward. Drive from Seward to Homer, then from Homer back to Anchorage. You'll see alot of Alaska, from coastal rainforest, moutain ranges, tundra and everything in between. Plenty of opportunities for world class freshwater and saltwater fishing. Seeing Alaska has nothing to do with towns, whether big, small or touresty. Something like that is exactly what I am wanting to do. Thanks again to everyone. Keep the pics coming.

Thanks in advance scott Seeing Alaska has nothing to do with towns, whether big, small or touresty. AMEN to that. My point was that even though that loop will have you going through the major population centers of Anchorage, Palmer/Wasilla and Fairbanks, it is a drive well worth doing. When we were planning to come up and camp in Alaska for our honeymoon, I said I didn't want to drive the whole time. Somehow once I got in the car, I managed to drive from Anchorage to GlenAllen, up the Alcan to Fairbanks, down the parks and all the way to Homer and back to Anchorage. ~1500 miles in 6 days. Our hearts never left the state and we were fortunate to be able to move up 3 years later.

He was sitting in a small tree that just came up to road level and I snapped a few off as I rolled by. It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
