If your going to go up to Alaska and then back I STRONGLY suggest doing a figure 8 in western Canada so that you see both BC/Alberta and then Jasper and Banff.
So Get into Alberta and Head West from Calgary through the rockys and Banff to Salmon arm, then head north to Alaska. Once i know more about your time frame i can suggest more scenic roads and stops. When you want to head back south Drive the way you didnt come before, so lets say you get into northern alberta (via BC or Yukon your choice really) drive south and head west through Jasper eventually getting down into Seattle. Not sure how long you intend to take in each province but all the roads are in great condition and you can easily do 100km hour, in Alberta you can be on the highways at 120km and wont get pulled over because 10km over the speed limit is acceptable here in Canada.
Not sure what type of scenery or riding you enjoy. But BC is mountains, lakes, streams, wildlife, trees, true nature with winding roads and valleys narrow sholders. and Alberta is Prairies, Flat open wide roads large shoulders, Big truckers on the road (nothing like you have in the UK), During the summer the fields will be yellow with canola and it will be hot and dry.
