Good morning, this is my first post on this forum. Hoping to learn a lot. I am in the very beginning stages of planning our Great Alaska vacation for the summer of 25. I just received my Milepost. We really want to stay in Skagway, but the 11.5 miles of 11% grade really has me nervous. I know folks have done it. Do you suggest taking the towed off and driving it separately? I would really love to hear from folks that have make this trip. We are a 32 ft Class C dolly towing our small SUV Thanks so much in advance. L
I don't have the knowledge to answer your question, but welcome to the forum. Maybe one of our other members will be able to help you.
In 2017 my husband and I towed a 26 foot travel trailer towed by a Sequoia to Alaska. We stayed at an RV park in Carcross and drove the Sequoia into Skagway. After driving into Skagway I am glad we did not tow because the grade is rough. Have a great Alaska Adventure!
ctravelgal, thanks so much for the post. Doesn't sound like a good road towing anything. At this point I think we've decided to leave the RV in Carcross and just take the car. I was just hoping to stay overnight and spend more time there. Thanks
When driving through the 11.5-mile steep road with an 11% gradient to Skagway, if you are worried, it is best to separate the SUV and drive separately to reduce the load on the motorhome. This helps you control better and protect the braking system on the steep road.
