10 days to where in Alaska? Hyder? (part of British Columbia, not part of main-land Alaska)
It took me 11 days from Michigan to Hyder, and another 3 days from there to Valdez... and that included some 16+ hour days of driving to cover the "flyover states"
As I crossed the Yukon in May, most of the private campgrounds had not opened yet or were permanently out of business. The public campgrounds were open; they require exact change in Canadian currency or pre-paid permits that you buy ahead of time.
The roads in the Yukon and British Columbia are like nothing we have here in the lower 48. The only vehicles that survive driving them at posted speed are semi-trucks.
