Alaska Highway
The Alaska Highway is 1422 miles long and the longest highway, by a long ways, that we detail on our website. Built during World War II, it has been continually improved over 80 years. What began as not much more than a goat path is now an excellent, paved, two lane highway with plenty of space for all types of vehicles. Drivers of large RV’s do not need to fear driving the Alaska Highway.
The northern section between Haines Junction and Tok is typically the roughest part of the road, with plenty of bumps and frost heaves. We suggest taking your time through this section and enjoying the scenery at one of the many campgrounds along the way.
