North To Alaska

The plot of the 1960 film, North To Alaska, sounds nothing like our proposed trip:

Sam (John Wayne) and George (Stewart Granger) strike gold in Alaska. George sends Sam to Seattle to bring George's fiance back to Alaska. Sam finds she is already married, and returns instead with Angel (Capucine). Sam, after trying to get George and Angel together, finally romances Angel, who, in the meantime, is busy fighting off the advances of George's younger brother, Billy (Fabian). Frankie (Ernie Kovacs) is a con man trying to steal the partner's gold claim.

But, we do need to plan our travel route. Here are the three main routes to Alaska (of course, you can also take a plane):

I think the route in purple requires swimming so that is out. I'm not a very strong swimmer.
