Johnna, yes there is a rather strange strip of coastal land, sometimes called the Alaska Panhandle, that is separating much of B.C and Alaska. Except for the trip into Hyder, Alaska - linked by road from Stewart, B.C.- B.C. roadways do not access Alaska. Canada and Alaska are linked by the Alaska Highway, but through Yukon. There is a railway into coastal Alaska at Skagway, but that connects to Carcross, which in Yukon. This region is very mountainous where, not that far away, is located the highest peak North America, Denali (or Mt.McKinley) as well as the highest peak in Canada, Mt.Logan. Driving in the far north is driving long distances. If you decide on a day trip somewhere you may as well take your rig to it, otherwise you're looking at double the distances. But that doesn't apply to travel to Hyder, Alaska, from Stewart, B.C.
