★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Couldn't resist stopping here to take the customary photo as so many others have done over the years. Should have come by the night before though as I drove into town, as the morning was much busier. Be careful taking your photo - the milepost is in the middle of the intersection. Better yet, get the friendly folks at the Alaska Highway House to take a pic for you. Also, remember that the mile 0 cairn is up the street a bit at the tourism info centre. Another photo op awaits!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I know it says world famous but that is a bit of a stretch. This is North America famous at best. It was a marvel of engineering when it was built during the war. The terrain was challenging and the work was mostly manual. The history is interesting and the stories are heartbreaking.
The city that this highway starts at is a whole other story. Dawson Creek is a clown show of a town. We're talking Ringling Bros meets the cast of Deliverance. It is like a whole psyche ward escaped by diving head first into the parking lot and the survivors just kinda started hanging out at the mall. If you're in to running from the police with a box full of firewood or beating on Walmart greeters, this might be the town for you. If you're looking for drugs or the latest antibiotic resistant STI, you would be in the right place as well.
My advice is head to Alaska, don't look back, never look back. Don't question why you are one of the lucky ones who managed to make it out alive. Just keep trucking and be glad you never passed the event horizon of this black hole of a town and got sucked in to suffer the rest of eternity in purgatory.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely a must drive road! It's long, winding and rough in places but it's something you would never regret!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A must-stop point for every Alaska traveler. If you come in early May, you just can make "your own" photo. Later on, you may have to line-up on the the big parking space in front of the sign...
