Building a multi-year off-road trip rotation — where should I be looking?

[DTX2023Tremor]

Interested in the Kentucky trip.
Any more interest in the Georgia Transverse? Being from the MS Coast that would be one of the easier ones to make.

KY is getting built and I'll be posting something on this soon.

Georgia Travsverse will get planned at some point, just don't know when. I am trying to pick different places around the country so that we're going somewhere new. If I'm doing the planning, its because I have the time to go on the trip and it's a destination my wife and I are interested in. We sadly only have so much time we can take away from work so that limits how many a year we can put on the books. Others are certainly welcomed (and encouraged) to put together trips if there's one that they want to do that isn't on my roadmap, or is too far out for when you'd want to do it.

I was surprised to see the Gaspé in your list. That is Canada’s oldest national park with extreme goat tracks throughout, but I’m not sure about dispersed camping restrictions with your RTT. Definitely try to avoid mosquito season.

More importantly, I was surprised to not see the Cabot Trail and Newfoundland on your list. Gros Morne NP is unbelievable. I recommend you do the full circuit of Cape Breton, ferry to the Rock, ferry to Labrador, then down through remote Quebec. The bigger question is how much time you have but is definitely a bucket lister.

Thanks. I haven't had much chance to research Canada and imagine 90% of the country is beautiful to traverse. No idea how dispersed camping works, but figure there's probably a wealth of knowledge online whenever I go to look. I appreciate the suggestions and will definitely add them to my list.

On the time question... that's really more a question of money. If any wealthy billionaires would like to adopt me and/or my wife, I think that would help us find all the time we need to see these amazing places.

might re-think Dalton hwy timing

spring is stiil way chilly at night
the months you listed are 24hr daylight & bug season.

recommendation
early fall
you get night darkness
it's chilly enough to keep the bugs inactive
nights aren't too cold yet

a must:
talkeetna
air taxi to denali
do the landing flight

don't miss the kenai peninsula & kenai national park

Love Talkeetna... a drinking village with a fishing problem.
