This is a great thread.
We visited Alaska by cruise ship in 2002 and loved it so much that we decided to travel there by RV. So, our first exploring trip by RV was in 2004 when we traveled North up the west coast of the U.S. to B.C. British Columbia is awesome. We have RV'd in 9 of the 10 Canadian provinces and B.C. is our favorite. If you can, explore it from Vancouver Island to the beautiful Okanagan Valley, across to Prince Rupert and then up the famous Cassiar highway to pick up the Alaskan highway in Yukon at Watson Lake. Doing the Cassiar was fun, scenic and memorable with a side trip to Stewart-Hyder.
From there we headed west to AK visiting Whitehorse, Haines, Valdez, Anchorage, Seward, Homer, Denali, Fairbanks, Chicken, Dawson City, Whitehorse (again), Dawson Creek, Prince George, on to magnificent western Alberta to Jasper, the Icefields Parkway (arguably the most beautiful high road in all of North America) to Lake Louise and then worked our way back to the U.S. and to central Calif.
For 2017, we have our newest Milepost, Mike and Terri Church's book mentioned earlier in this thread and our memories to guide us in our planning for 2017.
We do plan to do a Spring to early summer trip. This way we are ahead of the summer crowds and the beautiful snow clad mountains have just begun the melt.
