Roll Call Alaska 2016
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...

Further to that, make sure you have good health insurance that will cover ambulance. In the north, the ambulance is often an aircraft. It isn't uncommon for patients to be transported from Whitehorse to Vancouver BC for medical care too.
If your health insurance doesn't cover those ambulance fees, you'll be in for a substantial bill.
Good point. I joined American Alpine Club, which has some coverage for helo evacuation. Also, I bought Good Sam's Travel Assist, plus I've got my PPO health policy. Before heading up, I plan to audit these, because heard that evacuations are extremely expensive, for practical reasons.
