If you are traveling in a RV, motorhome, 5th wheel or travel trailer plan on at least two days. It can be done quicker but why? Enjoy the view, stop and see the sights. In my five months in Alaska last year I never saw anyone get a ticket for speeding, but with all the signs I'm sure it happens. Watch yourself on the Turnagain Arm streach of road. If you are really in a hurry, it can be driven in eight hours. That is if you don't get behind a RV caravan or some slow moving vehicle. Rules of the road are to let people pass if you have more than four vehicles behind you. Sometimes this isn't possible due to road conditions. Stop and watch the Dall Sheep on the cliffs above Bird Point. Spend some time at Aleska, a resort near Gridwood and watch the Parasailers, ride the tram to the top and have lunch. Visit Portage Glacier Visitors Center. Take a drive through the tunnel to Whitter, you'll be driving on railroad tracks, don't take a RV as it's too expensive. Drive on to Seward and visit the Exit Glacier and the marine bird center. There are so many stops along the way you might want to take a week like I did in 2006. Other good stops along the way are: Cooper Landing, Sterling, Ninilchik, Happy Valley and Soldotna. Enjoy yourself and drive safe.
