I have been planning this trip for 4+ years. It is now time to update my estimates and make my reservations. Estimate Wash/BC border about 5 May 2016, north on route 97/1/2 to Tok, south to Valdez...

Estimate Wash/BC border about 5 May 2016, north on route 97/1/2 to Tok, south to Valdez, make the hump to Anchorage, then to Homer and Seward, north to Denali, Fairbanks, back to TOK and off to Dawson, then south to Watson Lake, Smithers, then to CAN 16 east to Jasper,/Banff, on to Glacier in Montana, arriving early Sept so I can get thru the park then west to Kalispell. South thru the US to Houston area for the thanksgiving holiday and Florida for the Christmas holiday. Since I am sure it will be cold in Ohio I wont return home till April 2017.
Alaska here we come!!!!

On edit, yup it's time to plan 2016. I edited your post to modify the title to be consistent with previous years; it will facilitate future searches for members.

Hi. Looks like were going over the border about the same time, but I'm thinking about going up the 1/16/1. Your crossing would be fast and easy. I guess the 97 via Dawson Creek is about 7 hours more, but less risk that time of year. I'm undecided on route I guess. Reviewed the 2015 Milepost and I think 2016 comes out soon. I think I'm more concerned with store closures/ fuel supply than weather or road conditions, but I'm just at the conceptual phase of planning. I hear it can get chilly around Dease Lake.
