The Alaska Highway Beginning

The Alaska Highway begins in Dawson Creek, British Columbia at the symbolic mile marker "0" behind the DL in the photo above. It runs for 1422 miles through some of the wildest places in North America until it ends in Delta Junction, Alaska.

This is a very long road.

It was also quite the engineering marvel when it was built in WWII. When you ride it, it is very difficult to believe they built it in less than a year. However, because of the harshness of the climate up here, it is constantly falling apart and being rebuilt. That makes things "interesting" when you're on a bike...

Here comes the REAL fun!
