I'm in AK now actually in ANC tonight. Denali can be done in 4 hours if you never drop under 90 MPH (just did it) Fairbanks is another 2.5hrs. If in Fairbanks do NOT eat a Pike's Landing, go to Big Daddy's BBQ and say I was told to say hello to the Chicago Red Neck and the Biker Babe Waitress. Santa Claus's House actually has good prices on gifts, unlike any place else. The Old Dredge #8 is educational and fun. The El Dorado Gold Mine is Interesting as well, entertainment is good. You will pass the pipeline that everyone wants to touch on the way. Buy your fuel at Fred Meyer and put in your phone number it discounts it 4 cents. Pioneer Park has a descent air museum. If you want to see Mt McKinley it is better viewed from Denali State Park South view than any where in the park on the road. It is much closer too. McKinley Lodge Chalets can be had at $99 per night and it is very nice (modern resort style w/ rustic flair)
