If you're craving remote beauty, epic landscapes, and unforgettable adventure, the Alaska Highway (also known as the Alcan) is the ultimate RV journey. Spanning over 1,300 miles from Dawson Creek, British Columbia to Delta Junction, Alaska, this trip is a rite of passage for road warriors.
Why It's Unique- It's not just a drive—it's a journey through some of North America's most rugged and majestic terrain.
- You'll pass through tiny outposts, vast forests, glacial rivers, and mountain ranges.
- Wildlife sightings are common: bears, moose, caribou, eagles, and bison.
- It's full of history, built in 1942 as a military supply route during WWII.
- Dawson Creek, BC – Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway with a great visitor center and photo ops.
- Muncho Lake – Turquoise waters, mountain views, and great fishing.
- Liard River Hot Springs – A must-stop for a relaxing soak in natural hot pools.
- Whitehorse, Yukon – The largest city in Yukon with museums, shops, and trail access.
- Tok & Delta Junction, AK – The official end of the highway with amazing views of the Alaska Range.
- Late May to early September offers the best weather and road conditions.
- Be prepared for long daylight hours, and in late summer, a chance to see the Northern Lights.
- Fuel up often—stations can be 100+ miles apart.
- Bring extra supplies, especially food, water, and spare tires.
- Download offline maps and guides, as signal is spotty.
- Keep your RV in top shape before hitting the road—repairs can be costly and far between.

- Liard River Hot Springs Campground – Easy access to the springs.
- Takhini Hot Springs (near Whitehorse) – RV-friendly with added amenities.
