We did the Alcan, very easy as long as you are patient with the weather. Late May, totally VFR. 4 days from Texas to Anchorage, 10 days for return, because of weather. I posted about the trip in 2019 and we did go alone. It’s a great trip, we were gone a total of 28 days.

After deciding from the research that Alaska was a bit late in the season this year decided to head to eastern Canada instead.
5 days, 42.0 hours logged, 442.88 gallons burned, 1 night in a hotel.

You'll enjoy FSS service in AK (and Canada). They retained the old pre-Lockheed lower 48 model of answering the phone, don't read you the FARs, responding immediately to your request. They have windows.

Wow, this is so true. Was up in BC, and truly enjoyed the Canadian Customs & FSS. Of course, that all changed on the return and US FSS & US customs beat-down. The US moto is “we will give you the shake-down, even though you did everything right.”
