Has anyone done this trip? If so, would you do it again? What would you do different? I'd like to do it someday before we pull the plug and untie the lines.
Dream of Overlanding to Alaska.

I haven't done it, but it's definitely on my bucket list. It looks like an amazing place to visit!

@Blaine recently posted about his trip, and would certainly discuss particulars. https://overlandbound.com/forums/threads/alaska-trip.4060/#post-63813
Here's @Terry Pickens planning thread to compare notes. Alasaka Bound
@Cappy410's Alaska and Canada trip report. Alaska and the Yukon
And @Turner Overlanding's build with links to their trip. 1997 Land Cruiser Atlanta to Alaska
I'm going to go ahead and move this into the Trip Planning forum for you.

I did it on a motorcycle. Can't wait to go back in the Jeep.
Yes you should go.... whether it be to just see the sights, fish, hike or wheel the skag/mountain trails, there are tons of things to do, no matter what you are into. We will be going back again in the coming years to do the things we missed and spend more time in certain areas. I will update my Thread in the coming days.

Check out the videos that Mark Dorian does, He just did a multi state and country trip. He shows maps at the end of each video of where they went...
I did last summer and want to return as there is so much to see and did not have enough time . Traveled over 10,000 km in 2 weeks. Would recommend trip to anyone

I will most likely do the same although will be pulling our offroad trailer due to the limitations of space within the Jeep. Would you change anything with the rig if you had to do it all over again?
The only thing would be to pack lighter as i was packed to heavy and did not need alot of the stuff i took with. I learned alot on that trip now i will pack light weight stuff

Yes I am planning one in 2018, I have started investigating places to see now along my preliminary route. All subject to change as I dive more into the planning. But I am getting to Glacier National ParkBanff, Jasper, Dawson, Skagway.
