Im hoping I wont have to drive on any Ice Roads.. I dont really feel like dieing.. lol

Hello , Yes it is possible to travel from CA to Anchorage AK
The distance from CA to Anchorage is appromately 3520.04 miles depending where you start from in CA, Summer from about end of May is more than likely the best time, Although I understand that some times you can travel at other times. I had a friend come from Anchorage to Ca in 2001 and traveled by car all the way pulling a trailer. You can also check with mapquest.com and put in your starting point and it will give you full detailed map and directions to your point of destination. Hope this helps.

Of course. Summer is best.

Through canada

You will be driving the famous AlCan Highway. Look it up and learn about the engineering marvel, the reasons why it was built, and the magic of the journey before you begin. Take lots of pics, pull over at the view sights, enjoy the trip. It is a once in a lifetime event. Make sure you finish before October as many motels, cafes, and gas stations close up for the winter. Summer is also the season of the orange cones. Be prepared for lots of stops and slowdowns as this is the only time when highway maintenance can happen.

Just go north, u can_t miss it

How can you commute from los angeles to disneyland?|102875

I want to know the fastest way to commute there, without a car obviously. I only found one way with the metro taking 3 buses and taking 2-3 hours to get there :( I want to know if there is any faster way to get there.

mommy of 2:

To travel from Downey to Disneyland using public transportation is very easy. You would board either the east bound Metro #111 bus which travels across Florence Avenue or Metro bus #115 which travels across Firestone Blvd. to the end of the line at the Norwalk Metro Green Line station. There transfer to Metro bus #460 which will take you to Disneyland. When you board the #111 or # 115 ask for a transfer to use on the #460. The fare should be $1.25 each way. Have fun at Disneyland.

are you commuting, as is trying live in la and work in oc?

and you can_t drive a car?

if so, you are nuts.

This is an interesting question to me since I don_t do Disney, but I know it is like the hugest attraction to people traveling to L.A.--Does Disney have a shuttle system from a lot of other places besides Anaheim station ??? Like LAX, or the Valley or Downtown L.A. or are you just left to your own devices ???
How far is Anaheim station from Disney ???How long is the shuttle ride ?? Do you need admission tickets to get on it ???
Are there transportation discounts ??? I will assume from your guys comments previously that no MTA, metro link or Amtrak train really goes within walking distance of Disney...Correct ??? Where is Mark anyway, he should be here....LOL

from downtown Los Angeles (like say Flower and 7th)
you can take 1 direct bus (Line 460) it provides direct service to
Disneyland for about $2.75
another option would be to take Metrolink from Union station
to Fullerton Metrolink/Amtrak staion then take OCTA 43 to
Mickeys house (AKA Disneyland ) and your metrolink ticket would be valid as a transfer on the OCTA bus
(this route might be a little faster then the direct bus route)

Check with the MTA and find out where you can catch the bus which goes directly to the Disneyland Hotel. From there you just ride the monorail in to the park. If you are driving, just take Interstate 5 south until you get to Harbor Blvd and follow the signs from there. Either way, it should be fairly easy.

I would use VIP Tours and Charters if I were you.
You can look them up on the web.

Where in LA are you? If you are close to an airport, check out Super Shuttle or Primetime Shuttle. Most nice hotels can also provide that service. Also from LAX in addition to the shuttle there is a big bus that run every half hour. Disneyland Express. You can find number on the Internet by putting the names on the seach line.

Mobile Mark usually handles this one, but the answer is pretty easy.

You don_t mention where you are coming from (LA is the largest city area-wise in the US, silly!), but if you can get to any rail line, you can just take the MetroLink or Amtrak to the Anaheim station, then the Disney shuttle over to the park.

Didn_t your mama tell you that you need a car in SoCal? Sheesh!

How are the fall colors in Michigans Northeastern Lower Peninsula right now?|113973

I_m thinking of visitting some place in the north eastern part of Michigan_s Lower Peninsula. Anywhere from Cheboygan to Alpena to Tawas. They say the fall colors peak there in late September to early October, but I_m not sure that_s true for this year (2007). So how are things there now and where is a good place to see spectacular fall colors?

The areas that you speak of and in the _rolling country_
from Mancelona up to Charlevoix and that general area
are usually pretty good ,think they may have just started
but haven_t had a projection on the _peak_ times yet.
Think you_re a tad early.


Haven_t done so yet, but think a beautiful view would be
from the sleeping bear dunes back towards Glen Lake
and the surrounding area. It_s a nice woodsy drive from the
dunes South to at least Frankfort.
