Rt 40 Alberta Canada?

Working on our route to Alaska in spring of 2017. Will be coming north out of Jasper and wondering if RT40 is a good choice?

On Google maps RT40 more or less goes north and south toward Dawson Creek which is the start of our journey across the Alaska Highway.

AAA Trip Ticks routed us from Banff back toward Edmonton. That seems like a lot of back tracking to me, especially if we are taking in the sights around Jasper, but having no idea what RT40 involves, maybe it is the best route to take?

We are traveling in a TC so gravel roads and or curves and hills should not be a problem. TIME is NOT an issue. We have about 5 & 1/2 months to explore the north country.

What say you experienced folks about RT #40, "good to go" or "better choose another route"?
