Alaska Tour Saver. Arctic Outfitters. Dog Sledding Tours. Katmai National Park. Road Trip in Alaska. Alaska is roughly double the size of Texas, but much of the state is sparsely populated. An Alaska road trip is filled with long, sometimes lonely stretches of road punctuated by stunning vistas and frequent wildlife sightings. Plan your trip carefully to ensure reasonable daily drives and allow plenty of time for sightseeing. Step 1 Study a detailed road map to plan your route. The Alaska Highway officially runs from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, to Delta Junction, Alaska, but local roads extend the route from Seattle, Washington, to Fairbanks, Alaska, for a total of 2,313 miles. Step 2 Have your vehicle serviced or consider renting one that is equipped for your needs. Step 3 Plan a loose itinerary. Step 4 Purchase the Great Alaskan TourSaver online or at select locations in Alaska. Step 5 Stock your vehicle with emergency supplies.
