Hello and welcome aboard! Each summer I lead small caravans of RVers from Washington to Alaska (and back, if they choose). We stay in beautiful campgrounds and have fun along the way in British Columbia, the Yukon, and the 49th state. It's a unique opportunity to travel this side of the continent with new friends, then land in Alaska with lots of local intel.
Small group size (limited to 10 rigs)
Just the right amount of trip support
Deep local knowledge of Alaska
Terrific value at $1549/rig (1-2 people)
For traveler intros, trip packing & preparation, and general Q&A. Held in January, February, and April before departure.
A night-before-crossing meet-up in a Washington state campground on beautiful Padilla Bay.
Lead vehicle traveling with a ZOLEO for critical communication (if necessary) via satellite.
Radios to communicate between all caravan vehicles.
Route planning and pacing for an enjoyable 10-day/9-night drive up the Cassiar and west on the ALCAN. We travel through British Columbia, the Yukon, and into southcentral Alaska.
All site fees. Six overnights at private RV parks with many amenities (hookups, laundry, showers, food trucks). Three overnights at primitive provincial parks in BC, the Yukon, and Alaska.
$100 "just in case" money in Canadian currency at the start of the trip; emergency funds you could use (for example) in the rare case of credit card machines going offline in remote communities.
In places vetted for comfort, beauty, and safety, as well as strategically located for re-stocking in far-flung cities.
A list of this Former Resident’s favorite towns to visit, things to do, stuff to see, and places to eat.
Over coffee or a campfire, we'll circle up and go over our daily itinerary, as well as chat about all things Alaska: the geography, culture, attractions, and safety.
All expenses associated with your travel to, in, and from Alaska (except the 9 nights campground fees & $100 Canadian currency).
Medical evacuation and road assistance insurance (recommended). I personally use CoachNet.
Hi. I'm your host, Kim Ryals. I've been an RVer as long as I can recall and on the road since 2018. Through Caravan to Alaska, I organize and offer bespoke adventures curated over years of travel to and from Alaska (and through most of the states in-between).
I've dialed in the details of well-paced trips that stop in all the right places and savor the area's surroundings. I love sharing the front country and offering fellow travelers the peace of mind (and fun!) that comes with small caravans and camp outs.
