Overview

A loop by road from Anchorage, at your own pace. You head south on the Seward Highway, between the mountains and the Turnagain Arm inlet, to Seward, on the Kenai Peninsula. Here a full day is set aside for the fjords: by boat in Kenai Fjords National Park you see glaciers reaching the sea, whales, orcas and sea lions.

Then north to Talkeetna, a small village from where, on clear days, you see Denali, the highest mountain in North America. Two nights at Denali National Park, with a bus tour along the park road in search of grizzlies, moose, caribou and Dall sheep.

A self-drive trip with an Avis rental car and 7 nights in hotels; Denali bus tour included.

Good to know

  • To enter the United States you need an e-passport and an ESTA authorisation, applied for online before departure.
  • Driving is on the right; an International Driving Permit is recommended alongside your Italian licence. Distances are long and fuel stations few: fill up when you can.
  • In Denali National Park private cars may only drive the first stretch of the road: beyond that you travel on the park buses, shared with other visitors. Denali is often in the clouds, so seeing it takes some luck.
