Many tourists dream for years about driving through our great state. Their trips often become nightmares, due to poor planning and lack of knowledge. If you plan to visit Alaska, and drive our highways, there are a few basics that you should be aware of before you start your drive.
Construction zones cause delays.
Call ahead to check for road construction in the spring, summer, and fall. In the winter, avalanches often block major highways. Again, call ahead for road conditions. Number two, Alaska affords you with many opportunities to view roadside wildlife. Be on guard at all times.
