Former Sprinter Wannabe
Later this year, we are planning a cross-country trip to see some family in British Columbia. Since we have never been to Alaska and I have an entire month off work, I thought this might be an opportunity to hit my 49th state and knock off 2 or 3 Canadian provinces all in one trip.
Since it doesn't require ferry or air travel, we thought going to Skagway AK would be a reasonable destination. Our return trip would take us to Castlegar BC to visit my aunt and uncle for about a week, after which we would drive back to Vancouver BC.
Below are the routes we are considering. Does anyone here have experience traveling these roads? Are there any red flags anyone sees in traveling these routes? I know the cost of fuel will be higher in CA than in the USA, but that's all part of the territory.
