Western route? Taking a ship? Or is there land route through BC to Alaska?

I am not a paid speaker, just a retired small business owner, can not afford the Marine Highway.. We are heading north from Seattle to the Sea to Sky Highway ont ot Williams Lake and connecting to the Cassiar Highway to Watson Lake. On to Dawson City – Chicken ????

I will be going up that road near the middle of June hope to see you, if you break down after Fort Saint John BC you r screwed for much help unless you know a lot of people on way let me know if you need help that is on Alaska Hwy

Peter,
A trip to Alaska is on our bucket list, but I’ve read elsewhere your coach takes a beating from the potholes, frost heaves, etc. Is this accurate?

Peter, we traveled there in 2010 with a plastic coach, and the only section that was rough was the area of Destruction Bay. The road was built on the perma frost, so it is always moving, if you watch for the Orange cones and take it slow, no problems. Of course there is construction, as in the lower fourth eight. It is a life time trip with all of the scenery .Larry and Miriam Nelson

I go every year up that highway sometimes only part way up it and have never had a problem no worse than l -5 in California . Bill and family drove up there last year no trouble

Peter is correct we spent around 6 weeks in alaska with our bus as part of our 14.5 month trip with our kids around the US and Canada. Alaska was without question the highlight of the trip. We would and will do it again in a heatbeat. 95% of the Alaskan highway was no problem. The 5% that was bad was pretty bad but if you take it slow 25 MPH or less you were fine….
We were told to take the Bus on the ferry out of Dawson City of over the top of the world highway thru Chicken to TOk, AK
We didn’t listen and are very glad we didn’t. We took the car and that was even touch and go.
We took the AK ferry out of Haines to Bellingham and that was amazing as well.
We had cruised alaska in the past but there is nothing like really gettting out and seeing it and in your bus is a great way to do it.
