I am military relocating to fairbanks from colorado springs and wondered if you can give any advice on the road conditions in Canada via the ALcan are there actually dirt and gravel roads? I will be travelling in late June. Thank you

 

If the map shows it as unpaved then it's just that, no asphalt. You should look at hitting up LadyNorthStar and I can't remember the other lady who drives that area over on the Women in Trucking board.

 

will give that a try

 

I lived in Alaska for 14 years, assigned up there in the Army...Ft Wainwright, Fairbanks. During that time I've driven it round trip 8 times, last time was 5 years ago to move my daughter down. 1st trip was 1978, lots of dirt/gravel...last trip mostly pavement..but, to be perfectly honest the road was smoother in the dirt/gravel strips. GREAT trip though and you'll enjoy it. I put some plastic shields over my headlights to protect them from rocks and a hogwire 1/4" mesh out front of the grill to keep from getting a hole in the radiator. Last trip I flew up and drove back the daughters car...was in June...no headlight protection, no radiator protection...just the car...no problems at all. Take your camera for sure...and watch out for the occasional bear, moose, caribou, and buffalo you might see crossing the road. I'm jealous...take your time and enjoy.

 

here is some experiences from the folks on my RV forum
