Alcan Highway?

[Sheesh]

We didn't drive more than 12 hours each day, and we were coming from Fairbanks to Northern Cali. I think we took 4 days, but I can't remember for sure.

We did Spokane - Whitehorse on the Cassiar about 5 years ago. My hubby has done both roads, and the Cassiar by reputation, and his opinion is by far more scenic. The Alcan in many places is just cut into the trees; the Cassiar follows along just inside the coast range and has fantastic scenery. It's very remote in places however; you definitely want to have spare tires and so on. I don't remember the exact number but we saw something like 27 black bears. I'd say go for it, it is an incredible drive.

here's a couple of views:




We drove to Whitehorse for a raft trip on the remote Tatshenshini-Alsek River...
