BEST ALASKA ROAD TRIP DESTINATIONS
Dawson Creek (British Columbia, Canada) Amenities: The famed Alaska Highway (or ALCAN Highway) officially begins at Mile 0 in Dawson Creek, BC. The identity of the “Mile 0 City” centers around it being at the southernmost end of the Alaska Highway, and it is here where you’ll ensure you’re sufficiently supplied for your Alaska-bound trek.

Whitehorse (Yukon Territory, Canada) Amenities: While its status as Canada’s driest city may not draw you in, Whitehorse (located at milepost 918) is the Yukon’s capital city — with a population of around 24,000 — and this means it’ll be the first real taste of civilization you’ve had for a while. While there, avail yourself of the many hiking trails in the area. RV Campgrounds Nearby: Hi Country RV Park
Tok (Alaska, USA) Amenities: Located at milepost 1314, Tok (rhymes with “poke”) owes its very existence to the construction of the Alaska Highway, having been founded in 1942 as a construction camp for the ALCAN.
