Looks like that route would go through Canada as well, but you could avoid all that by taking a canoe from Alaska.

I remember when Sarah Palin could see Russia from her backyard. Such innocent times. ๐Ÿ˜’

If you changed the destination to NY instead of San Francisco, it's more or less a straight line. Thenothe way around is through Alaska.
