Ideas please - Flying into Whitehorse - next steps .....
 

Have booked our flight to Yukon and Alaska.

So we fly from YVR to Whitehorse. We will rent a car for a good few days and loop back to whitehorse via Haines Junction as car rental doesn't allow international car drop offs or even dropping car in another part of Yukon.

So here are the questions

- we want to cross border to go to Fairbanks Alaska and we reckon only way is to bus it up. Has anyone any experience of this. What are buses like etc ?

- any other way do u think is good to do?

In Fairbanks we will be renting a car to continue our touring eventually making it to ANC where we pick up a cruise back to YVR then

Thanks in advance guys ...

a few suggestions
 

With a car rental out of Whitehorse you can hike the Chilkoot Trail - following the route taken in the Gold Rush (NB a permit is required):

Personally, I like Stewart BC, but you can use this online guide to plan a circular driving route:

Haines is also very beautiful. You probably need to take the Alaska Marine Highway ferry to reach it:
