I am planning a trip to Tuktoyaktuk in August/September, 2019. I can leave St. Paul, MN anytime after the 28th of July and need to be back in Minnesota by the end of September. Current thinking is to be north of Dawson City, YK in the last week of August and heading down the Cassiar Highway by the second week of September.
My first iteration of a route:
To Tuktoyaktuk, NWT
Head north to Can 16
Can 16 past Edmonton, ALB
Connect to Alaska Highway at Dawson Creek, BC
Turn off onto Campbell Highway at Watson Lake, YK
Pick up Klondike Highway at Carmacks, YK
To Dawson City and the Dempster Highway to Tuk
Tuk to Wrangell-St.Elias National Park and Kluane NP
Back to Dawson City
Turn west onto Top of the World Highway to Tok, AK
Follow the Tok Cutoff to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
Back to Tok
Alaska Highway to Kluane NP
Kluane NP to Montana
Continue South of Alaska Highway to Upper Liard Village, YK
Take the Cassiar and Yellowhead Highways to Prince George, BC
Can 16 to Jasper, ALB
Hwy 93 to Montana Interstate 90
INT 90/94 to home
Any information on the route, side trips, places to camp, places to see, et.al. are welcome. And how many days should I budget to spend in these places.
Thanks, jim
