As mentioned no roads out of Juneau.
Here is the ferry information- you need to look at Juneau - Haines

I think it's humanly possible to drive from Haines to Anchorage in a day, but I wouldn't, so an overnight en route makes it two relatively easy days. If you have two drivers or one of you is a med student, go for it.
The "old" ferry from Juneau to Haines takes around 4+ hours; this will be cut by 2/3 when the new "fast ferry" enters service this spring. I assume that also means higher prices for the quicker run, but ought to be worth it for the novelty. The new ship, the Fairweather, is one of 2 (? - more?) high speed car ferries ordered by the AMH. Look out, whales.
So I suppose that means that one-day (meaning a 24 hour period) trips from Juneau to Southcentral will be "more" feasible. Yikes.
