No way! I lived in Kalispell before I joined the Coast Guard so I'm familiar with the road... I did pull it through Banff and Jasper; we are now in desse lake BC.

Service is non existent so pics etc will have to wait until I get to AK.


Ps that was my buddies wallet; and the huckleberry was awesome!

Coming down the Chilkoot pass into Skagway grade wasn't posted but I've heard it's close to 12%(I won't argue with that number; its STEEP) for 5-6 miles
