Road conditions in BC in early June

We have our summer trip to AB/BC and now AK roughly mapped out. Any major roads likely to be closed because of snow in passes? We plan to camp a few days, sightsee the area with our toad, then move 150/200 miles and repeat the process.

After looking at the map we decided to do Alaska on this trip as well. We had previously posted that Alaska would be on a separate trip but now are combining the two. Our timing is Banff in late may for a week or so, then all of June in BC, then on to Alaska for all of July.. then back to the lower 48 via a different route than we went up on.
  • I would be surprised if there were many closures at that time of year, though I don't have much personal experience to draw from. It's well in the prime RV travel season through those areas.

    When are you visiting Yukon? Obviously you'll be passing through it, at least, to get from BC to Alaska, but there are plenty of things worth lingering a little longer for as well. Whitehorse and Dawson City both deserve a couple days minimum in my opinion, and there are many wonderful natural areas as well.
