Just a gentle ping to see if this could still be an option?
It just ain't gonna happen on 2022.
I doubt that the are a multitude of people who even care, but I know that a few of you have been keeping an eye on this thread with some interest.
Totally understand.
That being said, I just booked a ferry from Whittier to Seattle for Aug 8, 2022 for 2 cruisers and crew. That means we will be in southern Alaska for the couple weeks before that assuming the road through Canada is open in July. We will see what happens and would love to connect to talk cruisers or even catch a few trails together with anyone else that happens to be in the area.
Completely understandable and the wise thing to do. But bummed nonetheless. Life is what it is. Hope things can work out in the future.I am a few days late making the call. I have been struggling over it a little bit. But with the ongoing BS in terms of all the things that are affecting travel within and across international borders, the uncertain costs of fuel and whatnot and, to be honest the impact of these and other things on my ability to thoroughly prepare for and host the Trek in a manner that would ensure a safe and enjoyable event for everyone involved...

We certainly will. Lots of miles to cover and potential problems, but now that i’ve got the ferry locked down, we’ll do everything we can to get there with some time for exploring. Talk to you next summer. thanks ericIf you are up here, reach out. Always up for some time on the trail if we can make our details match up. If nothing else, once you are here, in real time we can at least give some suggestions for things to do, places to see even if getting well off the road doe not turn out to be a thing.

This is my exact plan for when we travel to AK. It doesn't seem to be in the cards until roughly 2024 but nontheless I plan to ferry and bypass Canada.Totally understand.

What does that set one back?This is my exact plan for when we travel to AK. It doesn't seem to be in the cards until roughly 2024 but nontheless I plan to ferry and bypass Canada.
Ehhh, that's one of those "It depends" questions. But here is the site I was using to do a little planning although I'm quite confident it will change between now and the time I actually get to go.What does that set one back?
I am def a beginner and early in my planning stage, but my plan was to take the ferry due to the border restrictions in place currently. I honestly don't know if taking the ferry or driving through Canada(assuming its open when I take the trip) is more financially sound. It seems it will be an 8 day ferry ride, or a few days driving through Canada. Any thoughts and/or guidance on this?The Alaska Ferry system exists primarily to serve the coastal/non-road system communities up here. It has never been funded as much as it needs to be and changes in funding year to year and ships wearing out or needing major maintenance are a constant consideration too. The connections all the way to the '48 are rather secondary to the planning and funding guys. And places that can be reached by the road system are served simply to connect the other served communities to the road system. So, yeah, things can change between now and then.
A connection to Haines or Skagway is easier to schedule (more sailing dates) and cheaper too. Don't forget that both of those will still require you to travel through Canada. But both also offer a really nice trip.
