Having driven the "Alcan" 20 times now since 1968, its no longer the wild adventure it used to be. We used to have to carry extra fuel, cover our head lights with tape, a minimum of $500.00 cash, always expected a broken windshield every time on the 1000 miles of the dustiest and twisty gravel road you had ever driven. Now its smooth wide, straight, chip seal highway. Expect scenery that is some of the best in the world. The worst part of the whole trip is the first 200 miles once you get into Alaska. Lots of frost heaves so watch your speed. A must stop for us every time we head back home,(we leave Alaska to experience what most of you get to do everyday and that is drive to somewhere) is at Liard Hot Springs. Nothing better than a nice hot soak after a day of driving. Enjoy your trip, we are headed back down on the 6th of June... See you on the road.
