- I suggest one small diversion from your suggested route, that you
- consider going from Alaska to Prince Rupert on the US ferry, then down
- the inside passage on the BC Ferry to Port Hardy. You could then travel
- down the length of Vancouver Island, and return to the US from Victoria.
- A really picturesque trip.
-
- Have fun, either way.
