Alaska 8 Day Road Trip: Anchorage, Fairbanks, Glaciers, Wildlife & Denali over 1,000 Miles

Alaska is the ultimate spot for adventure in the United States. The state is massive and has so much to explore ranging from backcountry adventures and wildlife to large towns and great restaurants. We took 8 days to explore the state and to drive from Anchorage to Denali to Fairbanks and back. Along the way we had some bucket list adventures like hiking in Denali, exploring a glacier, seeing the Into the Wild movie bus, and soaking in hot springs. Here is the full 8-day adventure and thanks so much for watching it! Let me know what you think in the comments. Alaska is amazing and I cannot wait to go back.

My Dad's book recommendations -

Old Yukon: Tales, Trails, and Trials by James Wickersham - https://amzn.to/3m5EsCl
"Really good about the early development of Alaska including the gold rush. He was also the first to attempt to climb Denali. "

Three years in the Klondike by Jeremiah Lynch - https://amzn.to/3kKH0q2
"Also good but more focused on the Canadian area during the gold rush."
