Earl:: Having done this particular trip in an Aircoupe, I can recommend the DVD's from Sporty's on flying to Alaska, also a few web searches using "Flying to Alaska" will initiate some ideas.
I recommend. Fly North to Great Falls, MT then cross the Canadian border to Lethbridge, go through Canadian Customs, then on through Edmonton, Whitecourt, to Dawson Creek where you will pick of the Alaskan hiway, on to Fort Nelson, Watson Lake, Whitehorse, and Northway, where you will go through U.S. Customs then on to either Fairbanks or Anchorage. There are customs idiosyncrasies, private air traffic, different Sectionals, and literature that must be in the aircraft, plus a survival kit to keep you and your passenger alive for two weeks. It's a real hoot, an adventure you will never forget, and no amount of preparation will cover every situation you will find yourself in. So be prepared, and start asking questions now.
