Spend your morning exploring Whitehorse’s many museums and cultural centers that explore the history of the Klondike Gold Rush, including a restored stern-wheel paddleboat in the S.S. You have another beautiful day of driving ahead of you, for a total of 272 miles to Whitehorse-about six and a half hours on the road, not counting rest stops. Consider backtracking about 5 miles down the road for a morning picnic at Lucky Lake, which sports the only outdoor waterslide in the Yukon Territory.

Along the way you’ll pass one of Canada’s most scenic watersheds (Muncho Lake), plus the highest summit along the Alaska Highway (Summit Pass, 4,250 feet in elevation). Today you’ll drive a total of 330 miles to Watson Lake. Before you hit the road, visit the Fort Nelson Heritage Museum for a look at antique car and truck collections, historic buildings, and artifacts, all related to the museum’s theme of transportation. Originally a fur trading post, Fort Nelson prospered with the construction of the Alaska Highway and is now a bustling community of around 4,000 people. Despite its name, Mile Zero Park is actually 1.5 miles down the highway from the true Mile 0, so you’ll only have 280.5 miles left to go on your way to Fort Nelson, where you’ll spend the night. Stop in at the Alaska Highway House-a museum that documents the construction of the highway-and spend some time at Mile Zero Park where you can explore the Walter Wright Pioneer Village, which depicts the 1940s era in which the highway was built. Set out on one of North America’s most epic road trips, starting from from Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway in Dawson Creek, British Columbia. Use this itinerary as a rough guide for planning your trip. Only about five percent of visitors to Alaska get here by driving the Alaska-Canada Highway - but those who do are treated to a one-of-a-kind, week-long adventure through some of the planet's most breathtaking scenery.
