Maybe some day.
I’ve had many great vacations and driving up the Al-Can to Alaska, then returning down the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco and on to our DuPage County Il home. The best of many good ones.
My wife our two kids and a dog, three weeks, we took our time.
We even drove up to watch a glacier calve, hours watching small hunks falling and hearing it groan, went for lunch on return HUGE chunks in the water!!!
I would Not take my wife’s Prius V on the Cassiar Highway shortcut (deep potholes) but would fine for the rest of the trip.
I have known some that did it at a quicker pace of 10 days (week + weekend~)Minus the Pacific Coast Highway.
GO FOR IT!!!
See the world before you leave it.
You are right. Gotta grab life by the horns.
