Atlanta GA to Anchorage AK
Hello, I am planning a road trip from Atlanta, Georgia, to Anchorage, Alaska. I have 7-8 weeks to complete this round trip and plan to stay in Alaska for at least 8-10 days to see the sights. I am planning to leave in late July and return in the middle of September. I would like to see a lot along the way and split up the drive. Any recommendations for places to stop? These are my proposed routes. Would love to stop at Yellowstone and Glacier National Park. The stops in Denver and Dallas are to visit friends, but other than that I have no exact plan of where to stop along the way and am open to suggestions. I want the drive north to take longer, making more stops, and the return trip to be shorter and more direct. Will certainly utilize the Milepost and paper maps along the way when approaching the Canadian stretch of the trip.
Additionally any recommendations for what to bring on this trip. I am driving a 2007 Nissan Frontier (2WD) with all terrain tires. It can go about 300 miles on a full tank, to play it safe. Will certainly bring a 5 gallon gas can for those long stretches. Looking to get a new full size spare. Getting it checked out by a mechanic next week.
