Trip to Alaska!

That sounds like a great plan. We did the big triangle in August/September 2016, took the Alaska Hwy/Hwy 97 northwest from Dawson Creek and entered at Alcan, then Tok, then Delta Junction to Fairbanks. Then from there south to Denali, and on to Anchorage, the Kenai Peninsula, and Homer. You can camp on the Homer Spit for a few bucks, no hookups, but your're right in Katchemak Bay. The scenery is pretty intense in most of Alaska. Take your time.
After that we toured around Palmer/Wasilla and then back out via the Glenn Hwy to Tok, and towards Canada again.
We considered trying the Cassiar Hwy coming back, but we were time constrained and needed to pick up the pace, so we returned to Edmonton, then south along the main highway to Calgary, Lethbridge, and exited at Sweetgrass into Montana.
It was a great trip. I'mm planning on doing it again, as soon as we're able to travel.
Next time, I'd like to try the Haul Road for a ways. Maybe to the Arctic Circle near Wiseman.

We drove the haul road all the way to Prudhoe Bay back in about 2003, in a 28' Bigfoot. It wasn't bad, but you have to take it easy and slow down when a big truck is coming your way. If you don't, they won't, and you can end up losing your windshield. The only real problem with that road is that there are no services once you get past Coldfoot until you reach Deadhorse.
