Going Back to Alaska Question
Any route suggestions for entering Canada from Montana heading directly to Dawson Creek,BC? I would prefer to bypass the larger cities like Edmonton and Calgary. Thanks!

From Sweetgass MT/ Coutts, AB crossing, it possible to avoid Calgary, (as well as Edmonton) we do it at every oportunity, by turning west off Hwy 2 before the Calgary, and then north to get onto the Hwy 1 and take it west. You can either head up the Icefield Parkway to Jasper, or cross into British Columbia still on Hwy 1, and make your way up to Dawson Creek, the start of the Alaska Highway. I going to Jasper, take Hwy16 to Prince George and north to Dawson Creek. While at Prince George you have the opportunity to continue west and take the Cassiar route north, joining the Alaska Highway a few miles west of Watson Lake, Yukon.
Perhaps return on the entire Alaska Highway road on your return for variety.
