If you could transport yourself to ONE SPOT in this video, which one would it be?! 📍🗺

The Alaska Highway has really changed since 1955 when my father first drove an Army Jeep up the Alaskan highway from Bellingham, WA. The many stops where you have stopped wasn't there until Alaska became a State. The old road was gravel with lots chuck wholes and small rivers crossings because the road was pushed through with a D-9 disease track crawler tractor. Happy to see that they have improved the road.

I remember being able to drive across the Kitscatina (sp) bridge! That was so long ago!
-
I rarely enjoy travel channels but I absolutely love your channels mix of history and imagery! Keep it up!
-
First drove it with my Dad in 1972 and back then only 80 miles of it was paved. I drove it six more times during the years; Winter and Summer, but I'll never forget that first trip

"Life takes twists and turns you never expect. But setbacks become blessings." @19:30 This made my day. Thank you!
-
The construction of the Alaska Highway was a joint effort between the Canadian and American governments. My grandfather was part of the crew that built the Alaska highway. It’s called the AlCan because it was a joint effort.

I have someone who has a bucket list of this very same trip. I am enjoying your trip vicariously through your video. Hope to learn from you and enjoy your experience with you. Thank you for posting this and sharing.

There's an alternate route, called the Stewart-Cassiar Highway, which takes you through western BC up to Watson Lake, Yukon. In 1984 we made a great loop drive, north on the Cassiar, through Dawson City, up the haul road to Wiseman, Fairbanks, Denali, Anchorage, Homer, Whittier, Seward, etc., then south on the Alaska, via Haines, (ferry to) Skagway, Fort Nelson, etc.
