Loved it so much we will go again in 2020.

Excited for you. We did two months last year and will add another in 2020. Many of the info offered above by others was good. (I will take a few notes for our next trip.


Depending on where you enter Canada. Banff and Jasper should be enjoyed. The road between them is stunning, 93, and has several great sight seeing items.



We were rather pleased with the Canadian highways. The Yukon had the frost heaves, once you learned to appreciate the warning signs your were fine. Fuel was never a problem, my truck holds 36 gallons and we carried two 5 gallon cans but never needed them.


Enjoy each little town, your jumping from one to another - 2-300 miles per day for us.



Seward is a must. Do a boat trip out into the peninsula. We did the dog sledding tours as well here. Homer is a must, stay on the Spit if possible for a few days. We took a plane to Lake Clark to see the bears, GREAT. We took a water taxi to Kachemak Bay SP. Saw one of our biggest black bears and our dog swam with icebergs.



We, too, did Hyder and Stewart. The bears don't come hunting Salmon till late July or early August. Be sure to eat at the Bus in Hyder, great seafood.



Enjoy it all and safe travels.



Anchorage was our least favorite places.
