  1. I am so glad to come across your blog, just three weeks before I leave AZ for my drive to AK, via the highway! I’ve pre-ordered the Milepost so that should arrive April 2. I need to reread and take notes on certain bits of information, like Rancheria Falls, I’d not heard of. I’d been searching for a recent drive on the Alaska Highway, everything was 2021 or earlier! Thank you so much, enjoyed reading and looking forward to checking out your other travels!

    1. Oh my goodness! We too are gearing up to travel from AZ to AK and our milepost book arrived April 1.

      We are headed to McCarthy for some river running fun. Taking a whole month to get in as much as we can during our 7000 mile round trip road trip adventure.

      Thank you Lita for your blog as well. Super helpful and has made the preparation so much for fun before we depart.

  2. Have you ever considered embarking on a solo road trip along the remote and challenging Alaska Highway? What safety precautions would you take to ensure a successful journey through the rugged wilderness and unpredictable weather conditions?”,

  3. Hi Lita. Just took your tour on the AlCan. Thanks, saved me a lot time and effort! Just kidding – was kinda’ on my bucket list but too old now. Fun fact: My uncle, when a strapping young Canadian Lt. fresh out of school with an Engineering degree, reported to help survey this new highway. The Colonel gave him a jeep and told him to go to the top of “that hill over there” and build a fire. Keep it burning until you hear the dozers coming then go to the next hill to the north and build another fire. That was apparently how much of the AlCan was “surveyed”! He later went on to use his degree to find oil and as kids we always looked forward to what new and weird things Uncle Dick would bring from far away places.

  4. I’m glad I found your site. I’m in the early stages of planning a September, 2026, trip. You’ve opened my eyes to some additional options. I’m already up to 23 days and haven’t even added days for the parks around Calgary.
