I plan to travel from Alaska to Montana in October in my RV. Can anyone tell me what the weather/road conditions are like in October thru the YT and BC? Is it safe to travel in an RV during that time of the year?

Yukon Territory Yukon Dlilemma
Posted: Thu April 3, 2008 08:50 PM UTC
I was looking into planning a trip to the Yukon with my wife, who is a little less adventurous than I am and may require a little more comfort. I like to camp and fish, she likes to relax. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to satisfy both of our travel needs?

Yukon Territory Driving from Skagway to Fairbanks (or Anchorage)
Posted: Mon March 26, 2007 01:58 PM UTC
I was thinking of using the bus lines from Whitehorse to Fairbanks, via Dawson City (not sure there are still connections from Skagway, as Alaska Direct doesn't seem to have a website anymore), but the agency I enquired with seems to favor the car rental option (maybe for business reasons, of course)... My problem is, I'm not sure it would be reasonable for somebody like me, who never drives (I've got my licence, but, living in Paris, I don't own a car and only use public transportation...), to head into the Yukon on my own and onto gravel roads right after mid-May... Never even drove an automatic car!
So, does anybody around here have any experience of such a drive, and do you think the idea is completely insane, given the circumstances??
Thanks!

Yukon Territory Road Conditions in July
Posted: Mon October 9, 2006 09:09 PM UTC
Greetings,
my family and I will drive through BC and YT next year and ultimately Alaska. I wonder if anyone can give me tips about road conditions in general during the month of July. For example, according to MapQuest, the driving time from Stewart, BC to Watson Lake, YT on Route 37 takes 15 hours yet it's only 400 miles. That would be a bit too much to drive in one day. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (I know, get a map! but BC/YT maps are hard to come by in Munich :-)
Many thanks and best wishes,
Jerry

Yukon Territory Donjek Route
Posted: Mon June 5, 2006 08:27 PM UTC
We are planning a 2-week 100km Donjek Route trip in mid-June 2006. Two weeks should give us enough time not only to complete the route but also make Mt. Hoge ascent and some glacier day-trips. Since this is an off-trail route, we are looking for anyone who has done it to get some tips. Any tips on the route as well as Donjek glacier and Mt. Hoge ascent will be appreciated. Our special interest is finding someone who can advise on the best river crossing points.

Yukon Territory US Arbitrariness on Flights from Yukon to Germany
Posted: Mon July 25, 2005 12:14 PM UTC
On Condor flights from whitehorse/yukon to frankfurt/germany via alaska (anchorage or farirbanks) ALL transit passengers are constrained to leave their fingerprints at the US passport check. Many canada tourists got upset about this practice.

Is this practice legal?
How could I avoid it?
