About Travel by bus from Anchorage, AK to Seattle, WA

Travel by bus from Anchorage, AK to Seattle, WA?
Hi, I've got next question about travelling in Alaska. Is it possible to go by bus from Anchorage, through Canada, to Seattle, WA? I understand, that it may take some time, but form bus I'll see more than from plane. I think that it might be cheaper than flinght and much more exciting. Thanks for all your answers, Szymon Nowacky

Greyhound bus, San Francisco to Seattle $90, Seattle to Vancouver $28, Vancouver to Whitehorse $270, Then Alaska direct busline Whitehouse to Anchorage $230. It take 5 to 6 days to arrive there, it will extremly exhausting. Whitehouse to anchorage line only operates Wed and Sun. So the better and fast way is fly, I got there from SF to ANC for $422 round trip last week. I enjoy AK, glacier and wild animals.It is not that cold now, but many tourist sites is still close. Alaska is pretty expensive.The hotel I stayed was $69 now, will be $129 next month, and $199 June to Aug.

What about renting a car and driving the Alcan on your own? That way you can take things at your own pace and stop for things that interest you. Many car rental places will let you do this. Just an idea. A friend of mine and I did this once, and it was a great time.
