Getting to Alaska: Flights, Ferry, and Driving the Alcan
Last Frontier Events|June 6, 2026
Alaska isn't hard to reach, but it's not like driving to the next state over either. The three main routes are flying, taking the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system, or driving the Alaska Highway (the Alcan) through Canada. Each is a legitimate choice depending on your time, budget, and what you want the trip to feel like.
