I just drove up the Alcan from Seattle. Just so everyone is aware, the
Canadian border is currently closed to all but essential travel. I'm an Alaska resident returning home, so they allowed me through. Other "essential" reasons include military families transferring to/from Alaska, people moving to/from Alaska, and people traveling to jobs in Alaska. Leisure or tourist travelers are currently not being allowed across the border. If you are trying to cross in one of the above "essential" categories, you will need to be able to provide documentation at the border. It is entirely up to the individual Canadian Border Services agent whether or not to let you across. If they let you across you must travel by the most direct route, and are given a specific time frame to make the trip (usually about 5 days). All government parks and campgrounds are closed. No unnecessary stops are allowed. Awhile back some Alaskan students were returning home from college in the lower 48, and they stopped to do a hike. They were busted and fined $1,500 each. The Canadians are taking the current Covid19 situation very seriously! The current restrictions will end when the Canadian government decides the Covid19 situation is under control. I don't expect that to change before fall, at the earliest. Hopefully the border will be open in 2022. There is a Facebook group
Driving the Alcan - Alaska Canadian Highway which has excellent real time info on the current situation.
Regarding the trip itself, the road is generally in excellent shape. A little bit of slide activity has caused some broken pavement between Prince George and Chetwynd, but the rough spots are well marked. The only really bad section is the 100 mile (160 km) stretch between Burwash Landing and Beaver Creek. On that stretch just slow way down and enjoy the scenery. There will be construction along the way, maintaining highways up there is a constant task. I think I had to wait for pilot cars maybe 4 times on the whole trip. (There is an old joke that in the Northland we have only two seasons. We have 9 months of winter, and 3 months of construction!) I saw lots of people towing various rigs behind their RVs, so I think your Toad would probably not be a big deal.
Fuel is not a problem, just use some common sense. When traveling away from town in Alaska and other out of the way areas I generally try not to get below about half a tank. That way I have a comfortable margin in case of unusual circumstances. For the most part that was easy to do on the Alcan. Make sure your rig is in good shape before the trip. Repair options are somewhat few and far between on that road, and if you break down you could be looking a a BIG towing bill.
The Cassiar Highway is another great trip, though in the current Covid19 situation the Canadians don't want you to use that route. It is much more remote than the Alcan, with far fewer options for fuel and services. In years past I've driven it a couple of times. When the border situation gets back to normal, a great trip would be to go up the Alcan, and spend some time touring around Alaska. Then, with that experience, you might want to consider returning south via the Cassiar. For either route, by all means buy a copy of the
Milepost, as it has great info on what to expect on the road.
Here's hoping the border gets back to something resembling "Normal" soon. I want to take my van south this fall. But in the current situation, I'm not counting on it.
