Alaska and Yukon Highlights
You know you’re going for a spectacular fly drive holiday when you start it at a place called Whitehorse.
Our Alaska and Yukon holiday with flights, car hire and accommodation included starts and ends here at Yukon’s capital which with a population of only 28,000 lets you know what you’re in for.
Take the ferry from Skagway, trapped between the mountains and the sea, to Haines perched on the edge of Kluane National Park.
This holiday is all about driving past forests alongside glaciers and rivers that make you ache to try river rafting.
Alaska is famous for its seafood and Anchorage has some of the freshest in the world. Why not try cold-water Kachemak Bay oysters, King crab or wild Alaska salmon?
Take the car along the scenic Turnagain Arm and maybe take a detour to old gold mining villages but do take a wildlife and glacier cruise into amazing Kenai Fjords National Park. This area is renowned for its cultural sites, including the Alaska Native Heritage Centre, which displays traditional crafts, stages dances.
Drive on to the Denali National Park the home of bears, caribou and moose before arriving at Fairbanks via beautiful forest and mountain landscape. Then it’s the Alaska Highway, Taylor Highway and the Top of the World Highway back into Canada and Dawson City.
Be careful though, you’ll probably want to turn round and do it all again.
