Can you drive through Canada on your way to Alaska with an Oregon carry permit?
Canada enforces very strict gun control laws on US citizens who wish to enter, whether they intend to remain in Canada or are simply passing through to Alaska. There are different authorisation forms for different firearms, which can be presented to a Canadian customs officer. Some firearms are 100% prohibited and cannot gain authorisation, and these are typically the concealable kind with smaller barrels.
It is a better idea to have the firearms crated and shipped to Alaska beforehand.

It is not easy even though there is an airport. Doing an Expedia search suggests it is far easier to fly to and from Kenai (ENA) which is very near.
