I have never been to alaska. i ride a 2012 RT.
Planning a trip to Alaska to do pass through Wrangells National park, Kenai Fjords National park and finally Denali National Park. i do not intend to do an extensive ride through each park but do intend to stop at the visitor center at each. afterwards, i intend to return home via the rally in salt lake city.
i am seeking comments or input about the highways i have selected and whether i can reasonably expect wide open roads and decent cruising speeds or, can i expect crowded roads with vacationers or commercial truck traffic keeping my daily distance under 500 miles a day.
also, in regards to my chosen roads, will there be gas fill-up opportunities at least every 200-250 miles?
ok, the route i am planning is crossing into canada from washington into british columbia on hwy 97 and following it up to prince george, bc. from there west on hwy 16 until it meets hwy 37 and take it north until it meets hwy 1 which i will then take west to the wrangells visitor center area.
from there i will take the only available highways to the other two parks and after a night in the fairbanks area i will head east taking hwy 97 through the stony mountain provincial park and eventually down hwy 43 into edmonton for a night's stay.
thank you for your responses
