Howdy, folks. Well, I am from Texas, but I want to see Alaska. It was my childhood dream and I intend to make it come true. I would like to read some of your comments considering travelers expenses in Alaska. How much money did you have to spend? Thanks for all of your answers.

Hello. I am glad that a Southerner like you is interested in visiting Alaska. You have asked me a difficult question. I cant tell you the exact money. It depends what kind of trip you plan. For example, if you plan on taking King Salmon Fishing Package, itll cost you about 1500-2900 US dollars per person. I imagine that money isnt object for you people from Texas. Fly fishing in Alaska is about from 325 to 3029 USD for each person. You can find some cheap fishing for 150 dollars per person. You have plenty of programs to choose and of course, the prices vary depending of which program you choose. I hope youll have a great time there.

A common misconception is that a trip to Alaska is expensive. This idea is likely a holdover from the boom-days when the trans-Alaska pipeline was under construction. Back then everything was in short supply - from housing to coffee - so naturally costs ran high. The same thing happened during the gold rush, when a pound of bacon cost 40 cents (that's about $9 in modern-day currency).

But today, Alaska has lower prices than many other places in the U.S. According to the national Consumer Price Index, Anchorage is a lot more affordable than San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston and Honolulu.
