WA 20 is currently closed due to heavy snowfall from the storm on Monday. They will assess this week whether they can continue plowing it or if this is the end of the opening for the year.

WA 20 usually closes due to the weather between the end of November and mid-April or so every year. This route gets too much snow and too high of a chance of avalanches so it just stays closed until the weather warms up again.

I recommend checking the conditions on US2 before leaving. It might be OK without winter gear, but might not – there is definitely snow on the mountains right now. You can be ticketed for driving the pass without traction tires/chains if the state patrol has said they are required (not to mention the risk of getting stuck, spinning out or hurtling yourself over a cliff).

Drive carefully!

The Alcan highway is NOT open in all sections at that time of year. The boarder crossing at „top of the world“ is closed until late May. Several mountain passes in B.C. The Yukon shut down for the winter also.

The Marine Highway is the only way to get a car to Alaska in winter. You must make reservations for that. You will need some information about the U-haul for the ferry. If you are entering Canada, you will need passports & a form from U-haul to let the rental truck in & out.

Google Alaska Marine Ferry, & read about it. Fairbanks to Anchorage is a long ride in winter. Due to weather, this trip could take more then just 1 week. Also, know how much U-haul will charge on this BEFORE you go. My guess is it won’t be cheap.

With good road conditions on I-90 you can reach Ellensburg in 1:45, Yakima in 2:20 or Moses Lake in 2:50, and east of the Cascades will offer your best chance at seeing stars.

You will likely have to deal with snow in the pass so add :30min +/-, you might need chains on your car too, and December is when they get the most amount of days with either rain or snow over there so plan careully or it will be a wasted effort…

Now’s the time to experience the joy of driving in the weather – and in March there is a little chance you won’t have any snow.

This year the pass just before Seattle (Snoqualmie) had snow as late as June. Just be patient and you’ll do fine, just like all the other 10’s of thousands of people driving it everyday even in the winter. It wasn’t that long ago that people only had rear wheel drive and they still made cross country trips.

Anyway – I don’t know that there’s an easier (less snow) way to go. If you go south of Seattle to cross then you’ll be going over White pass and that’s worse. But even before WA on 90 you’ll hit a couple nice passes in MT (Lookout pass and 4th of July pass) If you have all the time in the world you can go south from DC and catch 40 and go across through NM and AZ then go north in CA on 5. That might be better but it would add day and days to your trip. I don’t think 70 in the middle of the state will help much either – you’ll be going through the high passes of CO and UT that way.

90 is the way to go – they do a good job keeping as clear as they can – it is an interstate after all. If it gets too freaky just pull over until it clears up.
