Did ya know alot (maybe even most) people fly between anchorage and fairbanks? Instead of driving it. Fun fact. 1 hour flight compared to a 6 hour drive. And the fuel + wear and tear on the vehicles (and your sanity) pretty much comes out even. 2 hours travel is much more attractive then 12. Its a nice drive, but not one Id like to make over and over. *i have drove it. Takes you past Denali view spots. A few of them. Have no desire to ever drive it again lol. Its a pretty drive, but mind numbing. ** the wasilla mcdonalds is infested with seagulls for some reason.
