We are planning on Alaska in 2019. We had traveled in a caravan 12 years ago and though it was the right choice then we are going on our won this year.
Rather than do the Banff/Jasper route we are thinking of going up on the west side, hwy 95 and coming back via Banff/Jasper.
Any comments on this route would be appreciated.
There really are not many options when going to Alaska or even once you cross the border. You can go up the eastern route through Edmonton & onwards or you can do the westward route through Banff, Jasper & onward up the Cassiar. Either way they meet just north of Watson Lake at which point there are no other options, other than side trips, till you get just north of Whitehorse where you either stay on the Alaska Highway or head to Dawson City & the TOW highway where you meet again a little south of Tok.
From Tok you do Alaska clockwise or anti clockwise. It is basically that simple. Not many roads to choose from.
