What a great itinerary! love all the details and amazing pictures!
I have pinned this. It looks like the perfect 10 day plan for Alaska. Although I would like to go by RV, we would probably opt for hotels. I noted your point about booking early. Although I would really love to spend the night inside of Denali National Park. That way we would see the animals that are more active in the morning. With all the seafood available, we would be in food heaven. Crab legs, salmon and seafood chowder all sound yummy. We would love to follow this entire trip!
This could be one of the most detailed itinerary i have ever read. Alaska seems like a beauty and perfect for nature lovers and photographers. Im more of a hotel person so id probably get one when i get to visit and all the nature activites that I can do is just awesome!
Yes, Alaska is definitely one of my dream destinations. I have seen so many photographs of the place, that its almost in my head now. But I also know that Alaska is not happening anytime soon.
The itinerary is just great with so much detail. It is going to help anyone who is planning a trip to Alaska. Its great that you have also given all the activities that can be done. Your photographs are as usual great!
Oh my word, you have such a comprehensive guide here! Alaska is one of my dad’s favorite states and he travels there almost every summer. Though he has sent me a few pictures, I haven’t quite heard descriptions such as this. Kenai FjordsNational Park Cruises sound right up my alley as does Denali, those views and all the wildlife, perfection!
You gave me such useful information. I especially appreciate the pricing, so I can plan accordingly. The detailed cost information is so helpful. and OMG, the scenery and sights are just breathtaking and I can only imagine what that would be like to see it from the air.
I
have wanted to take a cruise to Alaska for a long time but put it off due to
motion sickness. I love that this itinerary doesn’t involve a cruise ship. And,
it’s good to know the high costs in Alaska for planning purposes. I love the
bear sculptures around town and the antler chandler. Denali looks gorgeous but
it’s the little things that excite me
What a comprehensive guide with full details on financial break up, where to stay and food options for Alaska. Alaska is always on my dream list but always got confused how to start the trip and how many total days I need. But it is great that I found reading your blog about all details. I would start early from Anchorage to arrive in Talkeetna and would love to have lunch at Talkeetna Roadhouse as suggested by you. Denali National park looks stunning in your photos.
This post was super timely for me as i’m currently planning a trip to Alaska. Bookmaking for later. 🙂 As for now, I am definitely adding Talkeetna to my list of stops, it sounds like a great little town. I really love your realistic driving times.. thanks for adding those, very helpful!
Alaska looks so beautiful! Definitely on my bucket list for sure – I especially liked Seward! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Stunning scenery! It looks like you did a lot of planning for this trip, and with the cost of some of the accommodation options it seems like a good approach. Would you say that 10 days was a good timeframe for this trip, or did you feel rushed?
I love how you kept costs down in certain areas and then, made sure you got to do some pretty incredible experiences. I would love to do some wildlife cruises and kayaking, although getting close to that freezing water might not be so great!
I did an Alaskan cruise and loved every minute of it, however, I would love to go back to explore the smaller off the beaten path places on my own. I didnt do any kayaking as I was already on a ship, but i would definitely do it if i went back on my own.
Alaska is on my short list! This is an awesome itinerary and your pictures make me want to visit even more!
WOW, what a trip! Alaska looks like a great destination to experience. Your photos are stunning, makes me want to go more!
I visited Alaska for the first time this past September, and its stunning beauty completely blew me away. We did two weeks between Sitka and Juneau (with a 7-day cruise in between). I never had ANY desire to visit the state before we went, but now I want to go back! Perhaps a trip a bit farther north such as yours would make for a great second visit. I’m saving this post to my Alaska Pinterest board so I can refer back to your suggestions 😀
This is a great itinerary! I would love to travel to Alaska one day. Your guide will certainly come in handy!
I have never been to Alaska but would love to visit. I had a friend move to Homer years ago and never got to visit before I moved to Europe – now a bit farther away, but who knows? The Salty Dog Saloon sounds so rustic and authentic for a pub in Alaska. I’ll have to ask her about it and add it to my list whenever I get there.
What an outstanding Alaska itinerary post & photos! We were hoping to take a camping trip this summer to Denali National Park from BC Canada, but will have to wait until next season. I will certainly bookmark your article for future reference. Great Post! 🙂
Saving this for my itinerary for the bucket list! I wanted to do an Alaskan cruise but this break down changed my mind and I rather stay longer to enjoy more time there.
I’ve always wanted to go to Alaska, it looks so beautiful!
Thank you for sharing this detailed itinerary with the prices. I have Alaska on my wishlist, going up to the Arctic Circle some day.
Funny you should open this article with a comment that Alaska is one of the states you’d love to revisit. I’ve been to all 50 states, and at dinner the other night, we were discussing what state we’d want to visit next/again, and Alaska was my answer!
We took a cruise to Alaska a few years ago and from that experience, we knew we eventually wanted to explore more of this amazing state. The places you’ve mentioned here are on our list! Thanks for the detailed post!!
This is a solid itinerary! It’s very well put together. Saving this post for later. We loved our time in Alaska and can’t wait to take the kids next time. I think they’ll have a blast exploring the last frontier.
On my bucket list for Alaska are visiting the world’s northernmost sand dunes in Kobuk Valley, Point Barrow as the Northernmost point in the US and driving the Dalton Highway.
Alaska is so an adventurous place to travel. The itinerary is very informative sharing all the details of the cost and accommodation which helps travelers to get prepared. Various excursion activities shared in the blog makes it more excited to travel to Alaska.
This is an amazing itinerary, we’ve always wanted to visit Alaska. This is one of the top destinations in our bucketlist! We’d probably do it in a van/RV, that’s just so our kind of trip. The freedom to witness the amazing sceneries in this state — what a dream!
