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...

We are back in Tok for the night (our back nine). Tomorrow we head for the TOW. Looks like there is a music festival in Dawson when we were planning on being there. Hopefully we can find somewhere to stay since I do not have reservations. From there we head towards Jasper and Banff NPs and then on to Glacier. I hate leaving Alaska. Still so many things I wanted to see.
Dawson tends to get full during events. Even the Yukon gov't campgrounds can get a bit busy.
If so, consider heading 70km (50 miles) up the Dempster to Tombstone Park. It is beautiful there. The highway is in good shape as far as the park. Good gravel. Easy drive, just a couple of hours. Well worth it. Nice campground there, with no hookups though. Lots of good hiking around the area.

The white spots alongside the highway, way down there, are at the campground area
