I find myself in the position of needing to drive from Alaska to Phoenix, AZ starting on October 16th of this year. So my questions is, do you think it's better to try to drive thru British Columbia, or Alberta? Apparently it's longer going thru BC, but higher up in the Rockies going thru Alberta? Google isn't too much help, at least not under anything I have thought to search under.
Have no idea what the weather is normally like in mid October in either of those provinces, how good the roads are, how high the mountains are, how good the cell phone service is (in case we have an emergency), how far and few the gas stations are...same with motels, etc. (Plus, we will have a dog with us, so need pet friendly motels)
We will be driving a 4-wheel drive pick-up with ABS brakes, if that makes any difference, with brand new all season radial tires.
So...am hoping some of you familiar with those areas will be able to help me out.
Opinions PLEASE?
Thanks!
