Instead of Alaska, have you considered the Yukon??? It's right next door to Alaska, ALOT less commercialized and offers most of the same things as Alaska-only in CDN dollars!!!My fiance & I drove from Prince George to Whitehorse, Yukon in 22 hrs-that was only stopping for fuel.Also, There is a very scenic route from Prince Rupert to the Yukon called the Cassiar highway-lots of wildlife and nice scenery.here's link for the Yukon Government's tourism website-I'm not very computer savvy so hopefully it works!!
