H/t to Edvin.
Here are some of my Alcan Highway pictures from my 2007 trip. Once I find my journal, I'll write a more detailed accounting of my trip.
The Alaska Highway (also known as Alcan) is 1,400 miles long and stretches from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, to Delta Junction in Alaska. As I had a self-imposed rule of only traveling by public transportation, I rode a Greyhound bus from Dawson Creek to Whitehorse in the Yukon (where the service ends) and took a shuttle van from Whitehorse to Delta Junction and further on to Fairbanks.
Here is the bus making a pit stop. I think I had the best beef barley soup at this joint.
Here is some random glacier next to the highway. Truly spectacular. By this point, I had been "riding the dog" for three or four days straight (from Oakland, California).
I spent a day in Whitehorse and had some pretty good sourdough toast at a diner. I stayed at the cheapest motel in town-- it also had a hair salon, laundromat, and Indian restaurant.
Dave of Alaska Direct Bus Line picked me up in Whitehorse. He is a great photographer with a flickr page but I can't find it. The only other passenger was his daughter. We talked about Burma for a long time, for some reason.
We left town really early. This is Haines Junction at dusk.
This is Destruction Bay.
