Here's an interesting article from the New York Times about planning a DIY (non-cruise) trip to Alaska.
Apologies in advance to those of you who are stymied by the paywall - no need to scold!

Alaska is a great place to visit! Did a DIY trip there back in 2015. Hit Talkeetna, Barrow (now Utqiaġvik), Anchorage and Seward with some side trips to Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks!

Tom MN--We are looking to go to Alaska in September after Iceland in August;) We won't be doing the tourist things though, just going up to visit family in the bush for the annual moose hunt.

We tried to do a DIY visit a few years ago. Ended up way too expensive so we opted for a cruise with a couple extra days at the end .
