The Alaska Highway

     The Alaska Highway, also known as the Alcan Highway, is a historic route stretching approximately 1,390 miles (2,237 kilometers) from Dawson Creek in British Columbia, Canada, to Delta Junction in Alaska, USA. Constructed during World War II as a critical supply route, it was completed in an astonishingly short time of eight months in 1942. The highway winds through breathtaking landscapes, including rugged mountains, dense forests, and vast stretches of wilderness, offering travelers a unique and scenic journey through some of North America’s most remote and pristine environments. Today, it remains a popular route for adventurers, providing access to the natural beauty and cultural heritage of both Canada and Alaska.
