My baby girl is doing research in the Yukon Flats refuge all of this summer. My wife and I plan on visiting on one of her weeks out. She does 4 in 1 out until the end of August. I want to hear from the natives or transplants on what we should try to see in one week. We will fly into Anchorage and drive up to Fairbanks.
Thanks

I have absolutely no information for you...only a wish for a safe journey and sincere congrats on getting an opportunity to watch your baby girl shine! :campfire:
On your way up to Fairbanks try to get in a Denali trip. They drive you in on buses, at least they did in the 80s, but for a very short time they open it up to private vehicles late in the season. I had a 1986 Bronco II and filled up and drove until my tank was half empty and turned around. I didn't make it in even half way. Had to use the spare tank to get back out.
I was a poor E3 A1C in the USAF and had one roll of film to use. I got back from the trip and realized the film didn't feed at loading. I lost all those award winning photos of the cliffs and wildlife.
Good Lord willing I'l go back for a do-over one day.
Enjoy Alaska. It is simply a breathtaking place to see.
