The ultimate trip for me if you have the time is to drive through canada, to whitehorse then into AK to Fairbanks and the gold mines, then go down through Denali hit the rafting and some of the other tours, they have helicoptor trips and other stuff into the mountain. I don't recommend going far from the beaten path unless you have a GPS the mountains and valley's in AK can be very confussing, it is easy to get lost. Take the highway down to Anchorage, hit some of the fishing villages, then hop on the ferry back to Seattle/Vancouver. I think the ferry was 350-500 dollars. Trust me the drive to Alaska is well worth the 2900 miles from Seatle.

Great things to do is dip net fishing in the Copper River, rafting trips in Denali, any of the small southern town will have glacier near them.

I lived in Fairbanks for 4 years so if you have questions on Fairbanks PM me.

Also if you or someone in your family is military check out staying on some of the military bases in AK there are a ton with very good living conditions, and cheap room rate 30-40 buck a night. Air Force bases are nicest but cost more, usually the Army posts are closer to town though

If you want a good laugh it North Pole AK, just north of Fairbanks
