Stationed there twice, once at Cold Bay and second time Fairbanks for a total of 2 1/2 years. Drove to Fairbanks & back in a camper van. Like most everyone else said, cities are interesting, but get out and see the wilds. Bring a case of heavy duty bug repellent as no words can tell you how bad mosquitoes and gnats are. I found fishing to be over rated - water's so cold most don't fight. First time out I caught an 18" rainbow that acted like a piece of wood until it got in the bottom of my boat. Northern Canada & driving around Lake Kluane is beautiful. You might see some sheep if you're lucky. Denali is beyond awesome but you'll need that luck to actually see it.
