- Having made the trip from Los Anchorage to/from various locations (Cut-Bank, Idaho Falls, Bellingham, Spokane) more or less in 80 hours or less a few times, I don't recommend that method.
- I've always found the farming country of Alberta / Saskatchewan to be nice, but predictable and avoid that route if possible;
- Western /Northwestern BC and the Yukon Territories are almost as scenic as Alaska (possibly more scenic than parts of the "Beaver Creek - Delta - Squarebanks" drive). Don't skimp on time for this part of the trip.
- Having grown up in AK, I can't help but be old codger-ish and think the "old Alaska" is gone.....but the midnight sun baseball game is a bit of a link to the past.

we've been trying for 3 summers to make it up there but we can't seem to make it out of bc.this summer we wandered for a month from the lower mainland,thru the kooteneys over to the omineca then to the chilcotin before we ran out of holidays but we'll keep trying and it will happen.next year we head straight to the omineca region.clearly we don't plan our trips,we just pack up and go,but we really want to fish carp lake so..fingers crossed.on a side note the bc gov. has decided to reinstate the ferry service from vancouver island to bella coola.a very scenic side trip.
