Alaska by LAND or SEA?

Been to St-Pierre on a Holland American cruise. A really neat place that is totally French in every way.

 

We traveled to St-Pierre from Montréal one-way on a CTMA cruise, and then returned to Canada on the ferry to Fortune, Newfoundland. Unique, indeed. And an example of why a broad immigration rule needs to be sufficiently flexible to address unique or unusual circumstances that the rule drafters might not have considered at the time of adoption.

I know that we are not supposed to criticize the appearance of a post and your post was very interesting.  However, it would have been much easier to read and more people would read it if you used paragraphs.

What resources would you use to plan a land trip in the Anchorage, Seward, Homer area?
Bonus points if you have links to share!

I just got back from my first land based tour of Alaska.  Previously, I've done about 5 cruises, mostly from Seward to Vancouver.   The land tour was 12 days, starting in Fairbanks.  14 tour mates (all fully vaccinated).

 

Then to:

 

1.  Denali (Kantishna Roadhouse - 92 miles into the Park)  2 nights

2.  Talkeetna 1 night

3.  Alyeska Resort 2 nights

4.  Fox Island (out of Seward) 2 nights

5.  Anchorage 1 night.  (to catch next day flight to King Salmon)

6.  King Salmon 2 nights (with daily float planes to Brooks Falls.)

7.  Anchorage 1 night

 

Totally different experience than a cruise.  Also, much more expensive.

The library.  WEB sites.  We did a 3+ month driving trip in AK and did all the planning ourselves.  Worked out pretty well and we did not make too many really dumb choices.
