Don't get me wrong, we LOVED Alaska, but if you are going to drive from ANC to FAI, don't bother with the bus trip. For us, it was just a ton of cash spent to be on a bus with people who came off a cruise ship and this was all of Alaska they were going to get to see...and it showed. We saw moose on the side of the road for days on end...they saw 4 and we had to stop the bus for 10 minutes each so they could each get a picture...
Were you on a shuttle bus or a tour bus? If it was a shuttle, you could have gotten off, done some exploration, and then flagged down another shuttle to continue your trip into the park. That's the beauty of the shuttle ...
ton of cash? how much $$ did you spend for this bus??
Sorry you didn't enjoy your venture into the park.
