I drove from Idaho into Canada and to Dawson Creek at the start of the Al Can Highway into Delta Junction Alaska at the end of the Al Can Highway, in May 2023 and it was a fantastic trip. One of my daughters lives about 1-hour from Denali so I had free parking at her home.

Talkeetna is a great little town just south of Denali but no large rig parking or driving in it.
I did video of the entire trip if you want to see what the roads are like. Click the link:

Fwiw, the Pretty Rocks slide will finish getting repaired this year and open for busses again in 2026.
Putting an 800’ long single span truss over the slide area. Have done some consulting on it and my buddy is heading up the super structure construction.
cool job.
