Hinton to Grande P. OR Jasper to Prince G. and Dawson Creek

Starting to seriously armchair plan our first Alaska trip for late may through August 2017. Want to go to Glacier NP and thought we would cross at Sweetgrass then take 95 to Lake Louise. Have to miss the Sicamous to Golden stretch that we hear is nice on the Hwy 1 I guess.

After Jasper I have been told to take the 40 from Hinton to Grande Cache and Grande Prairie and on to Dawson Creek. But if I take that route we will miss Jasper to Prince George on the 16 and then the 97 on to Dawson Creek. --- Which route would be better for our first trip to Alaska?

I think I have the rest of our trip, Dawson City, Fairbanks, Kenia Peninsula and back crossing at Sumas figured out. But the first part of our trip into Canada is a bit difficult.
