I have recently driven the Alcan Hwy. and found the road to be in excellent shape. Second the advice to buy gas frequently and watch for wildlife on the road durng the day as well as night. If you are planning to go before late spring/summer be advised that some motels and gas stations will be closed, particularly between the larger towns. Truckers use the Cassair Hwy during the winter since the elevations are not as steep. The scenery is better than the Alcan but the road north of Bell II is terrible. Make sure you get a copy of The Milepost...greatest trave guide ever written.
