Well -20 C in Northern BC. My advice ifyour driving, grap a Serious sat radio. Long pullls of no radio on Alaska HW. Watch your fuel this time of year. Not many gas spots open after 8 PM and many summer stations closed months ago. Yukon gas cheaper than BC, so fill up at Rancheria Yukon, Contact Creek or Iron Creek Yukon. Gas about a buck Canadian in Whitehorse.
Once you hit Dawson Creek BC (mile zero on the Alcan) start keepin your eyes peeled for wildlife cause the next 500 miles (till you hit the Yukon ) is like driving through a zoo. Don't want to hit any animals and a moose impact could kill you. North of Ft St John there are 1000's of elk and you should see plenty. The deer are ruttin now and there are some tremendouse mulie bucks all along the highway. Whitetails roam all the way to the Yukon border and beyond.
Stone sheep and caribou are a real hazard north of Ft Nelson, especially Stone Mtn and Muncho lakes. And finally, watch out for bison all over the road near Liard Hot Springs. Make sure you stop for a dip. Especially fun at 40 below.
Good Luck
