I am planning a trip to Alaska this July. Can anyone assist with ideas on where to go?
I have up to 4 weeks. More likely 3 (purely due to cost).
I'm early in the planning phase, but need to sort this ASAP so I can start booking accommodation. It books up really fast.
My only thoughts so far are:
- ~4 days in Denali NP
- Wrangell St Elias
- Kayak somewhere around Kenai Fjords NP
Ideas are very welcome, or sharing of experiences from previous trips.
I've always wanted to get out to AK, and I am fortunate to get a lot of time off work this year, so can make it work.
One issue I've noticed so far is that car rental is ridiculously expensive. Eg. £500/week for a small car. However, there currently seems to be an option of a truck for half the price from Hertz. Not sure a truck for all the driving will be fun, but it is AK, so maybe it makes sense!
Thanks
