My son has be assigned to a US Army base in Alaska and I volunteered to help him take his vehicle up from the lower 48. He and I will be driving together, then I will fly back. This will be a great adventure and I am really looking forward to the road trip and seeing so much new (to me) and remote country. The drive from Montana to Anchorage is about 2,400 miles and I hope we will take our time just a bit rather than trying to break the land speed record getting there. My question for anyone who has done it is, after we get as far as Jasper in Alberta, Canada, would you recommend proceeding north to the start of the Alaska Highway and taking that all the way, or should we head northwest on the Cassiar Highway and take that until it intersects the Alaska Highway near Watson Lake, YT, Canada? I'm leaning toward the Cassiar because it has less traffic and is more remote and than even the AlCan, but would like to hear from folks who have done one or the other (or both). Also, what are some recommendations for don't-miss locations along each route?
Thanks
