The Alaska-Canadian Highway officially terminates in Delta Junction, Alaska – 1,422 miles awary from the beginning in Dawson’s Creek, British Columbia.
The road was first built between March and October of 1942 as part of a U.S. defense project during WWII. We covered the same distance in less than a week (but we didn’t have to drain any marsh or cut a single tree…)
I had showered once (at the Pink Mountain Campsite and R.V. Park) since leaving Sandpoint Idaho. Maybe it’s obvious.
The final milemarker on the Alcan Highway is surrounded by kitsch.
Nearly every vehicle driving along the Alcan seems to be a R.V., camper or trailer. We did see some wild buffalo standing near the highway in Yukon, but none charged the road.
The biggest mosquitoes I’ve ever seen wait around to attack tourists.
