Driving Glenn, Parks, Richardson Highways
I'll be in ANC in April and have 3 days to take to the Alaskan Highways. I love taking pictures of mountains, lakes, glaciers, and wildlife.
My sister lives in ANC so I have a place to crash at night if I stick close to ANC. I am thinking about either:
A) Drive Glenn to Glennallen, go up Richardson to Fairbanks, back down Parks to Anchorage, or
B) Drive Glenn to Glennallen, turn back to ANC for the night. Next day, drive up Parks about 100 miles, turn back to ANC.
With option A, I get to see more but need to stay at motels for 2 or 3 nights (Fairbanks is not an attraction for me because I was just there last month).
With option B, I'll miss out on Richardson and part of the Parks, but I save on accomodation and will need to drive 200 miles less.
So, my question: is Richardson and the northern part of Parks worth the extra time and money, keeping in mind that I'll still see the Glenn and part of the Parks if I take option B?
