RVING THE ROAD TO ALASKA (DAWSON CREEK TO LIARD HOT SPRINGS)
During Episode 85 (January 7th, 2018) we announced our plans to RV Alaska. It’s hard to believe that seven months later, we’re finally on the Alaskan Highway. Mile “0” is the official start of the Alaskan Highway and the unofficial start to Season 5!
In this episode, we share lots of dash cam and drone footage so you can see the road conditions from Dawson Creek BC to Watson Lake Yukon. We also stop at Liard Hot Springs (must stop) for a two-hour soak after lunch. Next weekend we’ll hang the KYD sign in the Sign Forest in Watson Lake and finish the drive to Fairbanks. Stay tuned for more – we’ve done some amazing things in Alaska that we can’t wait to share with you!

20150628: Day 21, The Alcan-Burwash Landing to Beaver Creek, Yukon
The 28th of June, 2015, was our 21st day of travel. The focus of this video is NOT the abundant and attractive surrounding landscape seen in the Yukon as we travelled down the road, but rather is about a segment of the old Alcan Highway (today known as Highway 1 or The Alaska Highway) itself. My first video about a road!
The segment of Highway 1 from Burwash Landing, Yukon, Canada to Beaver Creek, Yukon, Canada remains one of the roughest highways I've travelled thanks to wintertime road upheavals and distortions due to permafrost and other ravages of winter and the seeming inability to keep up with road repairs during the short summer months. The sheer number of ruts, loose rocks, dips, and potholes along this segment of road makes traversing it a navigational challenge.
Watch as this segment of the Alcan slowly morphs from a decent road near Burwash Landing into one that may challenge the mechanical integrity of your vehicle and your kidneys. We've taken over 3 hours of Dash Cam videos and reduced them to 57 minutes of torturous driving experience for your viewing pleasure! This video should put to rest stories as to how bad or good this road really is...and how challenging!
By the time we reached and drove beyond the Canadian Border Checkpoint at Beaver Creek towards Tok, AK we began to see the road morph once again into some semblance of normalcy! A real relief!
This video was captured using a Cobra Dash Cam with GPS. You can see in the video's lower right-hand corner of the screen the local date/time of day as well as the GPS coordinates of our location at the time the video was captured. Watch as the road really deteriorates at around 08:33!
In March of 1942 U. S. Army Engineers began construction on the Alcan Highway (today known as the Alaska Highway, or Highway 1) in response to a need to provide road transportation to Alaska's interior (Fairbanks) in support of the Lend Lease war effort with Russia, as well as to provide for the protection of the Lower 48. It stretched from Dawson Creek (Milepost 0), British Columbia, Canada to Delta Junction, Alaska (Milepost 1422), via Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada, a distance of about 1,700 miles. Two teams of engineers built this road, approaching each other from opposite directions. The entire route was completed on October 28th, 1942 with the northern linkup occurring at Beaver Creek (Milepost 1202), Yukon, Canada.
This section of road between Burwash Landing and Beaver Creek is 106.38 miles (171.2 km) long, normally taking approximately 2 hours and 31 minutes to travel...depending! The road begins to deteriorate shortly after traveling north of Burwash Landing, eventually becoming nothing more than a crushed gravel, dirt, dust, ruts and pothole plagued road. Not until reaching Beaver Creek, Yukon, Canada does this road regain some semblance of quality that would promise less damage to a vehicle and/or its tires. Beaver Creek, Canada's westernmost community, is also the location of the nearby Beaver Creek Border Crossing for traffic leaving Alaska and entering Canada. The checkpoint for traffic entering Alaska from Canada is another 18 miles up the road heading towards Alaska.
An ultimate destination for folks traveling this section of road is to reach Tok, Alaska, USA...the gateway town to Alaska's northern interior, and the city of Fairbanks, AK. The Alcan Highway ends at Delta Junction, Alaska where it meets the Richardson Highway (Alaska Route 4) and continues the additional 96 miles (Alaska Route 2) to Fairbanks, AK.
It took us from 07:24am to 10:57am, a little over 3.3 hours, on the 28th of June 2015 to traverse this section of road. We were towing our 25' RV trailer on our way to Tok, AK, having left Cottonwood RV Park on Kluane Lake just south of Burwash Landing a short time earlier. Our early departure from the RV park that morning resulted in our arrival at the Kluane Museum of Natural History in time to find it that it had not yet opened for the day.
It got to the point around 08:38 AM that the road was so bad it seemed more of a primitive path than a road. (GPS N61 42.48.3 W139 49.53.4). More than likely it was along here that our trailer bathroom's medicine cabinet became detached from the wall and the roll of toilet paper completely unrolled onto the floor! We encountered clusters of potholes impossible to navigate around. Traveling at speeds greater than 25mph may be damaging to trailer and/or vehicle contents if not the vehicles themselves. There are NO service stations along this route if one should need help or assistance!
We were passed by several vehicles along the way since we travelled at slower speeds than the maximum allowed. We would eventually catch up to these same vehicles which were now travelling as slow as we were. I wonder which bump in the road convinced them to do so? :-)
Fort Nelson & Dawson Creek, BC, Canada - Alaska Highway
Today we continued our mini-caravan south thru Fort Nelson, BC, Canada to Dawson Creek, BC.
In Fort Nelson we spent the night and visited the Fort Nelson Museum. This was a fantastic museum filled with everything imaginable! We were able to meet the man who had spent most of his life collecting all of the memorabilia! He had a little of everything from local artifacts to many old cars. Trisha was able to sweet talk him into giving her a ride in his Model T!
The next day we continued our journey to Dawson Creek which is ‘Mile 0’ of the Alaska Highway! There we boondocked in at a Walmart for 2 nights and had a Pot Luck dinner right in the parking lot where I attached the ‘Alaska’ sticker to the map on the back of my camper! We also visited their ongoing ‘Dawson Creek Fall Fair and Stampede’. At the Stampede (Rodeo) we saw lots of rides and a great Rodeo including Cattle Roping and Bull Riding! We also watched a band that featured the lead singer playing a Base guitar hand made out of a Chevy gas tank – which sounded great!!
After the rodeo, we re-connected with some of our other Alaska Tour friends at a local campground and had a great Pot Luck dinner including Elk Burgers!
