Q&A: Planning a vacation to Alaska; What are the places to visit?

Question by DragonHeart: Planning a vacation to Alaska; What are the places to visit?
I am planning to fly to Alaska, and rent an RV. I would rather visit in a leisurely manner the beautiful sceneries of alaska, and attractions. INSTEAD of regimented visits done during the Cruises(I feel they are expensive).

Any suggestions of what places to visit? What scenic routes to visit? and Glaciers, etc? Thank you.

Answer by karen h
Got to see the Kenai Peninsula, check out Girdwood and the “Chicken House” on your way down south. Outside of Anchorage going north is Eagle River, the visitors center is nice as in very close Mirror Lake.
