Alaska Highway

The Alaska Highway (also known as the Alaskan Highway, Alaska-Canadian Highway, or ALCAN Highway) was constructed during World War II and connects the contiguous U.S. to Alaska through Canada. It runs from Dawson Creek, British Columbia to Delta Junction, Alaska, via Whitehorse, Yukon. Completed in 1942, it was 2,237 km or 1,390 mi long, but is becoming shorter due to rerouting.

Wow! What an exciting trip it looks like it was. I've never been to Alaska, but it is on my Bucket List.
Love the shot of Jan and Jamie discussing the trip. I have a Bichon-poo who is sharp as a tack... and a happy traveler too. :)

Brought back memories. I took that route back in 1988. Wish I had my camera back then. Great photos, thanks for sharing!
