Alaska Highway

1 of 3

The Alaska Highway, also known as the Alaska-Canada Highway, was erected for military purposes in 1942, during WWII, in an eight-month record time. When you travel along the Alaska Highway, you will pass through some of the most beautiful national parks in Canada and the United States.

The route runs through Whitehorse, Canada, before passing into Alaska and ends in Delta Junction. Motels, stores, and petrol stations are located every 30 to 50 miles. Traveling over the Alcan Highway is typically simple. However, commuters should prepare appropriately because much of the road passes through rural terrain.

The mountains get more magnificent as you travel north and west. You'll see bears, moose, wild sheep, and bison along the way. You may go fishing, pan for gold at the MacBride Museum in Whitehorse, and go across the trestle bridge in Pouce Coupe.
