Introducing Alaska Highway
It may be called the Alaska Hwy but given that its longest stretch is in the Yukon (958km) perhaps another name is in order…

Roughly 2450km in length from Dawson Creek, BC, to Delta Junction, far inside Alaska, the Alaska Hwy has a meaning well beyond just a road. Sure it’s a way to get from point A to point B, but it’s also a badge, an honor, an accomplishment. How many highways in the world have T-shirts along the lines of ‘I survived the Alaska Hwy!’? Even though today it’s a modern road, the very name still evokes images of big adventure and getting away from it all.
As you drive the Alaska Hwy in the Yukon know that you’re on the most scenic and varied part of the road. From little villages to the city of Whitehorse, from meandering rivers to the upthrust drama of the St Elias Mountains, the scenery will overwhelm you.
