  • 枫下沙龙 / 游山玩水 / 花了好多时间,夏天去阿拉斯加两个星期自驾游的计划大致出来了。写出来,大家后面去玩的可以做个参考。 +5


    大致路线:
    Anchorage - Denali National Park - Cantwell - Denali Highway - Paxon - McCarthy - Valdez - Anchorage - Seward - Homer - Anchorage

    : 本来是租车加扎营自助游。后来参考网友的意见和网上查到的阿拉斯加8月份下雨天多的情况,改成RV游。

    机票: Air Canada(Toronto - Vancouver - Anchorage)  C$830 pp.

    :除了自驾观光,HIKING,自助爬冰川,准备带孩子们玩一些刺激一点的项目, HELICOPTER FLIGHT SIGHTSEEING, White Water Rafting, Sea Kayaking, Ice Climbing,坐船出海看动物和冰川。

    • Day 1,  Toronto - Vancouver - Anchorage - Willow RV Campground +1

      1)RV   取车地点

      GREAT ALASKAN HOLIDAYS, INC.

    • Day 2, Willow - Talkeetna - Denali National Park +1

      1) 坐直升飞机观光 Talkeetna Air Taxi
      有三种选择,价格不同,时间越长越贵。A) Denali最高峰南面转个小圈 B)Denali最高峰南面转个大一点的圈 C) 绕着Denali最高峰转个大圈。如果在某个冰峰顶上下来走个十来分钟,加100多美金。TRIPADVISOR上看了一些评论,总结是喜欢看风景的,时间长一些,值得。下冰峰走路,钱花的冤。钱多的除外。

      因为坐直升飞机需要看天气,如果天气不好,就不合适。我们准备

      Talkeetna AK 99676

      http://www.talkeetnaair.com/flights/southside-explorer

      2) 去公园路上的重点 Denali Viewpoint South(at Mile 134.7 of the Parks Highway)
      Offers the best panorama of Mount McKinley along the road system。

      3) 去公园路上的重点 Hurrican Gulch Bridge ( At Mile 174)


      The Hurricane Gulch Bridge is a 918 ft (280 m) long steel arch railroad bridge that crosses Hurricane Gulch, Alaska. It is located at milepost 284.2, counting from Seward. At 296 ft above the Hurricane creek, it is both the longest and tallest bridge on the entire Alaska 。

      4) 去公园路上的重点 Igloo At Mile 188.5


      It is a giant unfinished wooden structure that is covered in white foam. It is an Alaskan motel, that never made it. So it sits and rots! It is a road side marker for those driving north on the Parks Highway from Anchorage to Denali State Park. It is a conversation piece! It is The Igloo!
      Anyone seeing it for the first time, is sure to stop. Wander across the snow to look inside and you will see, nothing! It is massive in size! It is empty! It was never finished! It has no fire escape! It is the motel that never made it.

       

    • Day 3, Denali National Park +1
      1)住
      国家公园里面的营地比较紧张, 我们预定了两个晚上在Savage River营地。天气好的时候,营地附近的trail可以看到 Mt Denali(Mount McKinley)。Camping site and Transportation Booking (https://www.reservedenali.com/)

      2)Transit Bus

      公园里面过了Savage River营地,私家车基本不让进去了。需要公园里面的巴士,或者参加TOUR,带着你坐车观光。我订了公园里面时间最长的,到达公园最里面的,Kantishna Transit Bus - Adult 60 美金,需要十几个小时才能够结束,需要多带些吃的,穿的。https://www.reservedenali.com/上面预订

      看了一些REVIEW和视频,坐巴士进公园里面的一路上,可以看到很多动物,包括熊。如果人品好,天气好的话,可以看到Mt Denali。
    • Day 4, Denali National Park
      1) Hiking

      Day hiking trail Map (https://www.reservedenali.com/media/399906/nps-featured-trails-map.pdf)

      Savage River Loop Trail - Look for Dall Sheep & Caribou (Mile 15) http://www.alaska.org/detail/savage-river-loop-trail

      2) Flight Sightseeing

      如果DAY2 天气不好,没有办法直升飞机观光,DENALI国家公园门口也有公司在运作。因为在这个公园的时间长,所以更容易调到合适的天气出行。

      http://www.denaliair.com/compare_our_tours.html

      3) Whitewater Rafting
      这个地方的Rafting是Class III with one Class IV。Anchorage南面SIX MILE RAFTING比这个更刺激一些。我们估计去那里玩了。
    • Day 5, Denali - Cantwell +1
      Denali 继续hiking 玩一天,晚上撤到 Cantwell,补给粮草。想走Denali Highway的,一定要在Cantwell加满油。中间没有加油站。
    • Day 6, Cantwell - Paxson - Chitina

      1) 走Denali Highway(http://www.denalihwy.com/area/denali-highway), 从Cantwell 到 Paxson。


      "Also known as Alaska Route 8, this road stretches through 135 miles of undeveloped land and natural beauty. Services along the road may be scarce however and there are huge portions with gravel surfaces, but all these are made up for by the amazing view of Mount McKinley. There is a lot of unspoiled beauty along the way that should keep things interesting. Big game animals may also be sighted, though hunters have eliminated most of these. "

      Denali Highway A Mile-by-Mile Guide (http://www.explorenorth.com/library/roads/denali_highway_guide.html)
       

      2)Denali (Mt. McKinley) Views On Denali Hwy MP 124

      During clear weather, there are excellent views of North America‘s highest peak on this six-mile section of the Denali Highway. Approximately 80 percent of its 20,320’ elevation rises above the surrounding landscape, making its base-to-summit rise greater than that of Mount Everest.

    • Day 7, Chitina - McCarthy - Kennecott

       

      Kennecott Mines National Historic Landmark

      https://www.nps.gov/wrst/learn/historyculture/kennecott-mines-national-historic-landmark.htm

      http://blog.wenxuecity.com/myblog/63627/201712/11292.html?from=groupmessage&isappinstalled=0来一直犹豫是否要进MacCarthy。因为有很多警告,说路不好走。后来看到这篇游记。

      在Chitina一定要加满油,备好吃的。进去就没有地方加油了。Chitina到McCarthy 的路,需要开得非常慢,经常会有小坑。

      "The Edgerton Highway/McCarthy Road is among the most picturesque drives in North America. "

      "The McCarthy Road is a narrow, gravel road that is 59 miles long. The town of McCarthy is located at the end of the McCarthy Road.

      All visitors must park their vehicles at the Kennicott River footbridge. There is no vehicle access to Kennecott Mill town, which is located 5 miles away from McCarthy. During the summer, there is a private shuttle that transports visitors between McCarthy and Kennecott for a fee of $5 one way."

    • 赞,mark
    • 太感谢了,赶紧都记下来。这都是心血呀!
    • Need a roadmap,notate each day/site. thanks. probably better to make a map in google. +1
      • 群众的要求越来越高了。
        • 这么大量的数据,没有 index, table of content 怎么成。 +1
          • 每一天的行程里有goggle map的链接。
            • 呵呵。
    • 取决于租车公司。Denali Highway有的公司不让RV走,因为是沙石路。如果你仔细看合同,一定会提到这点。
    • 大致路线地图。因为DENALI HIGHWAY冬天不建议通车。GOOGLE MAP不可以把CANTWELL和PAXSON 两个点联起来。这个地图比较一目了然。

       

      • 这张绿线HIGHLIGHT 了准备经过的路线。

    • 太贵了,直接枪毙。
      • 欧洲更贵。。这里还好啦。。如果不参加太多其他的活动。
        • 物价差不多。但阿拉斯加要参加很多Tour. 直升机,游艇,皮艇等都不便宜。少的每人7,80,多的两三百。
          • 法国。。。海边小镇吃午餐,30几欧元一份的东西量不到北美1/3的量。。。俺家两个大小伙子,一顿饭要吃饱,烧狠多钱啊。
