In reply to Trena. To be honest I'm not sure. We took a road trip from Key West, FL to Alaska and back, so we didn't track costs for just one part of the trip.

Hi Kevin,

I greatly appreciate your time and dedication to these responses. I’ve driven the AlCan once,but this time I need to find motels to stay in with our family cat.I’m traveling from AK to MT via the milepost itinerary #4. That is the cassiar and yellowhead highways to east access.Can you please suggest some budget and pet friendly motels? Thank you in advance.

In reply to Gabi Olsen. Hi Gabi, If you have roaming on your plan you can use your phone in Canada but it can get very costly. We personally use T-Mobile as they offer a plan that gives us coverage cross all of North America for a single flat price. You can check out the plan here.

In reply to Ron Cornelisse. General Trailer will rent you a trailer . It's 3,000 for six weeks with a pop up, and 10,000 for a motor home When do you plan to go. We're from Michigan and plan to see all the special parks in the US first. WE are waiting until we retire probably in two years. WE are just thinking that the more folks we have the more fun we will have.

Everything you have written is SO informative! I lived in AK about 25 years ago and am about to move back up there next month. I find it will be MUCH cheaper to drive (and haul some of my stuff) as my car gets over 40mpg. Last time we were there we had the car shipped (military). I will be coming from Seattle, looking to do the trip to Anchorage in 6-7 days. My question is this – what are the best sources to check for road conditions ahead of time? I will be making the trip the week of Thanksgiving. Thanks!
